1991 Bobby Banilla Signs Record $29 million Deal |

Bobby Bonilla signs record $29 million deal with the New York Mets.
Bonilla was a baseball player and is of Puerto Rican descent. His deal with the New York Mets made him the highest paid baseball player in history. However, his honeymoon period at the Mets was short lived due to a dismal batting average that many believe was caused by his discomfort with the role of team leader that had been assigned to him by the coach. The Mets fans did not waste time in making their feelings about Bonilla clear, forcing the star to wear earmuffs to drown out the noise of the boos he received when he stepped up to the plate to bat. He left the Mets four years after signing with them, joining the Baltimore Orioles.
