  1 Baseball is nothing if not cyclical; during the 1997 season, Steve Avery, a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, had $3.9 million coming to him had he made eighteen starts. After his seventeenth, Avery was yanked out of the starting rotation, presumably for poor performance, but really to give him the old Cicotte treatment nearly eighty years later. Eventually, Avery got his money, but not without being made to sweat bullets first.
