That Navin house is listed at $395k? Man, Detroit is _cheap_.
Anyway, star players always made good money. Not like today, obviously, but they were never hurting. Cap Anson made $3k in 1885. There are all sorts of problems with inflation calculators (mostly that prices don't inflate at the same rate), but that's in the $85k range today. So even the in early days star players were basically middle class.
