Mays complaining about money makes no sense. He was making the big bucks while he played. Here's an easy way to put things in perspective:
In 1960 Mays made $150,000. The average median household income was $5,600.
In his final season in 1973, Mays made $165,000. The average median household income was $7,580.
Now adjust those numbers for inflation. Mays was a millionaire in his time and has absolutely nothing to complain about.
