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.
