    The 29 year old Spooner, who won the 1960 Cy Young Award, going 21-5, with a 2.16 ERA for the Kansas City Athletics received an unheard of SEVEN Year contract, at nearly $715,000 a year, but he's not even going to be the biggest paid star on the Senators, as Mickey Mantle will be the first player in Baseball history to be paid over a million dollars in one season, as he will earn a shade more then $1,100,000. (2nd place is Duke Snider at $985,000)
