Suggestion: Display the amount of money a player earned over his career

[I_Got_Wood_34]

I think it would be fun if we could see the total amount of money a player earned over his career.

Just another fun statistic to see after your favorite player retires over a 15 year career.

How much money did he make in comparison to other great 2B ?

thanks

I agree, but don't stop there - I want to be able to see in general who the highest paid player has been in history for one year, who has made the most, etc.

CatoBase had a lot of nice tables dealing with salary, and such a table would be even better to have now that you can offer different salary amounts over different years in a multi-year deal.

The more Cato features that show up the better in my honest and most humble opinion.

Bingo. Thats the stuff. With Cato Base it was just a nice thing to look at. Now that we have financial coefficients and are able to create inflation, these tables can really get interesting.
