what Willie Mays would make today

So this is the story I heard:

Willie Mays, in my opinion, the greatest baseball player ever, was recently asked what he thought he would be paid (per year) if he played baseball today. And he replied, "Oh, I'd say about $300,000."

Aghast, the questioner told him, "But Willie, players nowadays are making millions of dollars!"

And Willie said, "Well, I am 80 years old!"
