Nolan Ryan, Houston Astros, NL, 1979.\n\n(Funny, if Rose made a million in 1978, then why did he make $800,000 with the Phillies in 1979?  Sorry, but you're the one who is wrong.  I've found more than one source that says Nolan Ryan signed the first $1,000,000/yr contract in the history of Major League Baseball in November of 1979.)

Jim "Catfish" Hunter was made a free agent when Oakland A's owner Charlie Finley did not make payments for an insurance policy that was written into Hunter's contract.  That made it a breach-of-contract and Hunter then became a free agent when his contract was voided.\n\nKen Harrelson was cut in mid-season 1967, again by Charlie Finley of the then Kansas City A's.  Harrelson made Finley mad so he cut him.  Harrelson signed with the Boston Red Sox in their 1967 Miracle season going to the World Series with them.  He basically replaced Tony Conigliaro after he was hit in the eye by a pitch.\n\nTommy Heinrich was made a free agent because his contract was voided as illegal by Commissioner Kennesaw Mountain Landis.  The New York Yankees offered the best deal so Heinrich signed with them.\n\nThe current free agency is when a player lets his contract expire and signs with a new team for the next season.  The first two players to play out the option were Andy Messersmith of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Dave McNally of the Montreal Expos.  It was called playing out the option because the players were help by the teams forever until released; the teams maintained an "option" on all players and kept them until they were released.\nOnly Messersmith actually took a chance with his career as McNally was already injured and planning on retiring however the lawsuit turned out.\n\nWhen Messersmith and McNally won the lawsuit to stop the teams from keeping them forever and ever until released, the teams set up a free agent re-entry draft.  A team had to draft a player, making it known to all teams that they were interested in signing the free agent player.  That rule has since fallen away, any team can sign any free agent at any time.\n\nWhen the free agency started it hurt the Oakland A's the most; Charlie Finley was well known for not paying well and generally treating his players poorly.  After winning the division 5 consiecutive years from 1971 to 1975, and winning 3 consecutive World Series from 1972 to 1974, they lost Gene Tenace, Bert Campanaris, Sal Bando, Joe Rudi, Rollie Fingers as well as Catfish Hunter to free agency.  The A's also had to trade Reggie Jackson, Vida Blue, and Ken Holtzman once Finley realized he was going to lose the players anyways.\n\n\nEdit- Curt Flood tried to become a free agent.  He went all the way to the Supreme Court but he lost.  He did not want to be traded to the Philadelphia Phillies and refused to report.  Even though he refused to report, the Phillies kept the rights to his contract; later trading his rights to the Washington Senators.  He played for the Washington Senators for a short time, ending his career in 1971 after sitting out the 1970 season protesting.\n\nBottom Line- Curt Flood was never a Major League free agent, first, last  or otherwise.  See the link below for the list of transactions for Curt Flood.\n\nThe first players that played out their options and became free agents were Andy Messersmith who moved from the Los Angeles Dodgers to the Atlanta Braves and Dave McNally who retired rather than signing with a new team.

The most famous player is Old Yogi Berra, played for the Yankee's he was traded to them from St. Louis Cardinals. Has played in more world series than anyone else. He was born on Elizabeth street in St. Louis. (The Hill) He is famous because I cant turn on the TV without seeing him advertising something

For baseball players I think it was either Nolan Ryan or Ricky Henderson. Not too sure though.  I know that Albert Belle got the first $10 million per year contract.

He was working for the other agency.  He was a double agent, just like Sydney was.  He was looking for Sydney, I belive because he said when they met, it wasn't a coincedent.  I can't remember what his real name was, the show get's kinda confusing.

At last report, Sammy Sosa turned down a non-guaranteed contract offer from the Washington Nationals during this off-season. \n\nWith the recent revelations about the use of HGH (human growth hormone) from Jason Grimsley, it's unlikely that Sosa, one of the most prominent players said to be tied to baseball's steroids scandal (and one of the players who testified before the House committee investigating the problem) will be receiving any calls from major league front offices any time soon.\n\nOn the other hand, if you want to know what Sammy Sosa is doing RIGHT NOW, he was courtside at the American Airlines Arena in Miami last night (or tonight, however you prefer to think of it) for game 4 between the Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks.

There is talk of them signing one of the Alex Gonzalez's, which one I am not sure.  Probably the one who was with the Marlins the past few years.

I'm guessing Bill Laimbeer... I don't know exactly what his father did for a living, but I remember hearing sometime during his career that his father was very wealthy, and actually did make more than his NBA son.
