Book Synopsis Baseball's Biggest Blunder by : Brent P. Kelley
Book excerpt: The 'bonus rule' of 1953-1957 required baseball players who signed a contract for more than $4,000 to remain on the major league roster for two full seasons. Kelley tells the stories of the 'bonus babies' who reaped the benefits, and the others whose careers were destroyed by the rule.
