Bobby Bonilla's infamous New York Mets contract sold for $180K at auction

Bobby Bonilla's infamous contract with the New York Mets is still being paid out -- in more ways than one.

The addendum to Bonilla's contract, the deferred compensation agreement, has sold with collectables marketplace Goldin for $180,000, including buyer's premium. The auction closed late Saturday night.

Bonilla, of course, is owed $1,193,248.20 from the Mets every July 1 -- known throughout the sports world as "Bobby Bonilla Day." -- through 2035 as part of the most infamous deferred payment contract in American professional sports history.

Bonilla will be 72 when the payments are complete.
