Bobby Bonilla is the American Dream: he played pro baseball, won a World Series and he gets $1.2 million a year for 24 years for challenging his boss to a fight.
ruclips.net/video/fYJW6B902xE/видео.html This video covers the whole story.They accused Fred Wilpon of knowing what Madoff was doing. Fred Wilpon paid 162 million in a settlement before it went to trail. It's even more insane than you think.
Bobby Bonilla was the best contract in Mets history, due to the contract we had the budget to get Mike Hampton who led us to the World Series (before choking) and then was picked up in Fa, we we're given a consolation pick and that pick turned into David Wright. Goat Bonilla
Bobby won this beef by a mile. He won a world series after the Mets traded him the first time and they have won none and are still paying him millions of dollars😂😂😂
He sucks lmao not like he contributed to the World Series and also some contracts are like that for every team this is just a little longer so sure but LOLMETS
Sure Bobby won big and it continues but still I think about how he coulda and shoulda won even bigger, how? Easy, by just focusing on being really relatable like admit whenever he struggled ok yes I stink just now and I'm trying to turn it around for the team and the fans. See? That's a pure genius boss strategy. The fans would have loved that he could have still won his chip them come back home and play and grow his fan love and even today he could and would have been a big boss pitch man for any and everything NYC. That's worth more in dollars and fame even more than the 30mil. Fan love will always trump hat from the public.
Had Bonilla been healthy at the end of Spring Training in 2001, the Cardinals we’re going to go with him. He started the season on the D.L. instead forcing the Cards to go with an unknown rookie named…….Albert Pujols.
"Bobby Bonilla playing for the Mets could have been the triumphant story of a New York City kid making it big and being the hero of his home city." Oh, but it is, and he is.
I love this story because it is so similar to how the New York Islanders ( which are usually associated with the Mets by NY fans ) have almost the same exact story with a goalie named Rick DiPietro. They’re paying him $1.5M every July 1st until 2028. Feels good being a Rangers and Yankees fan.
Yup, because almost the entirety of both of those teams' fanbases is from Long Island. Ive known one or two Met fans from the Bronx,and been like, "Huh?" (Only explanation is if they were kids in '86). As for Manhattan people who root for the Mets,it's usually just transplants and Yankee-haters
Paying $28 million a year to a postseason choker like A-Rod whose entire time with the Yankees was tainted by steroids isn't much better. Neither were those Eric Lindros and Pavel Bure contracts.
She's easily the best writer at SB and she gets basically no credit for it. Not sure why, to be honest. I'm always excited when I hear her start narrating because there's a 100% chance of a few quotables.
thank you so much Robby! i have just concluded a special dance that was just for you, which i now realize was foolish since you couldn't see. it was a lot of hips for what it's worth
The money throwing thing wasn't because of Bobby Bo: it was because of the after effects of the 1994 Strike and the "greed" incident at Shea a few days into the 1995 season.

To still get paid for the next decade and a half and not have to work for it, I think almost anybody with a brain would take that and I mean some of us don’t hate Bobby. In fact we’re just envious of him because he’s getting paid more in retirement than what any of us could earn from our retirement lol
He's not getting paid not to work. He effectively loaned part of his salary to the Mets, and they are re-paying the loan. What makes it a good deal is the 8% interest rate. In 1999 that didn't look exceptional, but through a period of historically low interest rates he has been collecting on an investment which is paying a better return than any other he could have got. The only risk e faces is the Mets becoming bankrupt before the loan expires.
The Mets are still dysfunctional. Despite having the biggest payroll in MLB, they're almost in last place in their division and keep getting beaten or swept.
@@samortmann5003 Yeah, he was the Bill O'Brien of hockey. Also, I agree with Derek. It's not quite a fair comparison. DiPietro was a mess in terms of injuries, but he wasn't a problematic guy.

Great job once again, Secret Base! 👍😉 Could you do a beef history story about Michael Jordan’s beef with Chicago Bulls GM Jerry Krause? I don’t know if you’ve already done so, but Jordan hated Krause’s guts. It all started back in the 1985-86 NBA season. Michael spent much of that season on the injured list. But he justifiably criticized Krause’s commitment to building a winning NBA team. And…it was all downhill from there.
I swear I thought cross dangle earrings were a new age thing with my generation until I’ve watched 2 mlb beef videos and seen Bobby bonilla and Barry bonds wearing em. I love it😂💯
I remember this so fondly now. Growing up a Braves fan and my best friend’s family being from Queens. The smack he talked when they signed Bonilla. In all my jealousy I never imagined getting over two decades of mileage off this. Bobby Bonilla Day is a real holiday to me.
His agent deserves the credit. Bonilla was just smart enough to accept his agent's advice. By the way, his agent gets 20% of every payment to Bonilla. Not bad.
I like how there's a reveal in one of the articles that Charles Dolan was considering buying the Mets, in case anyone needed to picture a scenario worse than the one the Wilpons created.
It wasn't Bobby Bonilla's fault that we he came to the Mets replacing Darryl Strawberry in 1992 that he was the only hitter and power hitter on the team with Eddie Murray ! Hojo was washed up Vice Coleman was a bum Willie Randolph was old Mackey Sasser didn't have a good bat he was there catcher Dave Magadan also didn't hit that good.. And our Pitching was very bad considering we had Dwight Gooden, David Cone , Bret Saberhagen , Sid Fernandez, and Anthony Young as our starting pitchers ! And the Brooklyn Native John Franco our Closer.... All UNDERACHIEVED !.... Bonilla hit 95 Homeruns with the Mets batted 265 in the 4 years he was with them... Then they traded him too Baltimore where he hit 28 Homeruns and 116 RBIs as a DH than off to the Marlins where he won a Championship with his old coach Jim Leyland and teammate Gary Sheffield..... He basically said too the Mets Fk You for treating me the way you did and you have to pay me 1.2 Million until I'm 72 years old... I LOVE IT ! .. I'm a Mets fan letting all you other Met fans know it wasn't right ! Maybe you should boo Francisco Lindor who's contract with the Mets is 10 years 345 Million and only batting 218 ! BULLSHIT !

What the media and Mets fans did to Lastings Milledge and the Mets not having that kids back. All he did was high five some fans at the end of an inning something players do now. They where merciless and one of their top prospect lost his confidence and was a bust. I love it when the Mets and their fans get their comeuppance.

@@unfortunatelyunknown1414 And that’s on top of the $700 million he lost because of Madoff’s scheme.
I think the craziest part is that Wilpon remained on the MLB Finance Comittee (maybe even chairman?) even after the Madoff debacle became public.

He sucks lmao not like he contributed to the World Series and also some contracts are like that for every team this is just a little longer so sure but LOLMETS
Sure Bobby won big and it continues but still I think about how he coulda and shoulda won even bigger, how?
Easy, by just focusing on being really relatable like admit whenever he struggled ok yes I stink just now and I'm trying to turn it around for the team and the fans. See? That's a pure genius boss strategy.

Had Bonilla been healthy at the end of Spring Training in 2001, the Cardinals we’re going to go with him. He started the season on the D.L. instead forcing the Cards to go with an unknown rookie named…….Albert Pujols.
Worked out for both parties than
As a Cardinals fan we are highly grateful for that!!!
They also gave Montreal the option between Fernando Tatis Sr or Pujols in exchange for Dustin Hermanson (A career journeyman). Expos picked Tatis...
Never heard of him. Was he good?
Wasn't it also Mark McGwire who told Cardinals management that if they didn't call Albert up they'd be making a massive mistake?

Took a shot at the Phillies in the beginning as if they didn’t dodge a huge bullet. Smh
