Bobby Bonilla #25 of the New York Mets
‘Bobby Bonilla Day’ would have never existed had the slugger signed with the Phillies and not the Mets following the 1991 season
Today is July 1, meaning the crazy year of 2020 is halfway complete. But, for the Philadelphia Phillies’ division rival New York Mets, the date more so affects their wallet each year over anything else.
Bobby Bonilla has not played in Major League Baseball since October 2001. Yet, he is still making $1.2 million a year through 2035, when he will be 72 years of age.
