Here’s a story you don’t hear every day:
On January 18, 1950, Indians pitcher Bob Feller suggested to team management that he take a pay cut because he did not feel that his 15-14 record from the previous season merited an increase. Feller was granted his request, and his salary was cut $20,000 to $45,000. The following season, however, Feller made a comeback, finishing with 16 wins and a 3.43 ERA.
