By today's standards, very little. No MLB player in 1947 made over $100,000. Hank Greenburg of the Pittsburgh Pirates was the highest paid player in 1947 at $80,000. Salaries back then, except for the very best players, were generally not revealed ... there was no union and most fans considered it almost a privilege to play Baseball as a career. Joe DiMaggio of the Yankees was the first player to earn $100,000 a season, that being in 1949.

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.
