As it was pointed out by Mike, Al McReynolds ruined his own life, the fish didn't.
Just so you know, Garcia paid McReynolds $250,000 in 1978. That was a lot of cabbage in 1978! Translate that into 2010 dollars and you are in the million dollar range. I believe that you guys don't see the merchandising and marketability that could be generated by hiring the right sports agent.
But what the hell difference does it make? None of us are in that position.

$812k, not millions.
And you'd be lucky to get half that today.
