SEE PHOTO(s) - COMPLETE ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER, the New York Daily News dated Jan 8, 1930. This original newspaper contains a back page headline: (Babe) "RUTH HOLDOUT; Demands Raise to $85,000" as well as an inside page banner headline: "RUTH HOLDOUT for $85,000". This NY city newspaper covers the famous 1930 salary dispute between BABE RUTH and the NY YANKEES for the 1930 baseball season.
Interesting headline in that the NY Yankees did not think that for the 1930 season the greatest baseball player of all time, BABE RUTH, was worth more than $50,000 per year. One must, however, remember that this was the era just after the STOCK MARKET CRASH and the BEGINNING of the GREAT DEPRESSION.
When people think of President Herbert Hoover and baseball, many recall the famous story from 1930, when Babe Ruth signed a contract that paid him $80,000 a year. When Ruth was asked if he thought he deserved to be making more money than President Hoover, he said, “'Why not? I had a better year than he did.”
