The first MLB player to earn $1 million per year was Nolan Ryan in 1979. I haven't been able to find the NBA & NFL players as of yet.
Oh, dude, you're taking me back! The first NFL player to sign for a million bucks was Joe Namath in 1965. That was like a big deal back then, you know, a real game-changer. Like, now players make that in a game of Madden. Time flies, man.

Trevor Francis - was first 1 million pound transfer in 1978.. Not So!! Giuseppe Savoldi had been the world's first £1m player when he moved from Bologna to Napoli for £1.2m in 1975
For one, in WWI, the Britains rolled out tanks for the first time.
While recognized as the first 1-million-pound player, the actual transfer fee for the Trevor Francis was £999,999 -- £1 short of the 1-million mark. Brian Clough wanted to ensure this milestone mark did not go the player's head, although with taxes the total fee exceeded £1.1m. This transfer took place in 1979 not 1971.
