I was right.

Bobby Bonilla Day is coming up.

0:17.7

It's July 1st every year, and he still has 10 years left. So he gets the

0:23.5

million dollars. He gets all the money on that day. The yearly payment is $1.193 million,

0:31.0

and instead of paying him $5.9 million in 2000, they agreed to this deal paying him $5.9 million in 2000.

0:37.8

Yeah, we left the Pirates, right. They agreed to this deal paying him $5.9 million in 2000. Yeah, we left the Pirates, right?

0:39.1

They agreed to this deal, paying him $1.1 million a year for 35 years.

0:47.2

So until he...

0:48.2

I think he signed that when he was 25.

0:50.4

Yeah, it was in 2000.

0:51.8

That's like the lot...

0:52.5

It's that loto thing, man.

0:54.0

That's the kind you want to win, the one where they just somebody sends you something every year, you know.

No, at the time, though, the Mets were offering a lot of money. He took it, you know? Yep. I'll take a million dollars a year. $5.9 million with 8% interest paid in installments for 35 years.

1:27.7

Do you think he looks at his bank account that morning every morning? I would. Do you think it's a direct deposit or can he show up to the office? No, that's great. In the beginning, it might not have a direct deposit because there wasn't direct deposit. They probably mailed him a check. Yeah, yeah. First few times. Are they ever late? No. I might have a direct deposit by what year was that again?

1:46.4

2000.

1:47.8

2000. 2000. Oh, it kicked in 2000. Yeah. That's right, right. Just being tight asses and waiting a few months before they, you know, so they can collect interest. I would bet. I would bet it's electronically transferred at the start of the day every year at July.

2:01.0

What are the odds?

2:01.8

I would want, what's their mascot to Mr. Met, that big baseball?

2:05.0

I'd want him at the door with a big check every July 1st.

2:09.9
