In order to further police themselves the owners of the NL instituted the Brush Salary Classification Plan for the 1889 season, which put a limit on the money spent for players by ranking them and paying them accordingly. This was introduced by Indianapolis Hoosiers owner John T. ("Tooth" as referred to be the players) Brush. Players were rated from "A," being the best, to "E" and the maximum salary for an "A" player was $2500. Each subsequent level below was reduced by $250.

Should softball players get paid as much as baseball players?
Professional softball players are paid less than professional baseball players because softball is not as popular as baseball. Baseball has a much bigger market in the economy, as proven by the baseball stadiums, playing cards, t-shirts, and hats. Because of all the profits that these things generate, they are able to pay their players more. Softball does not have this kind of publicity, and there for the money that flows into the organizations involved in the sport do not draw as much money either. Because they do not draw as much revenue as the baseball organizations, they are not able to pay their players as much as baseball players get paid.
