NEW YORK — World
Series winners in 1969 will re
ceive a guaranteed minimum of
$15,000 and losers will get at
least $10,000 on the basis of 32
shares for each club.
Joe Cronin, American League
president, and Warren Giles,
National League president, an
nounced the agreement by which
the minimum guarantee for the
World Series winners will be
$484,000. That would figure to
$15,000 on the basis of 32 full
shares.
The players of each of the two
clubs losing the divisional play
offs will receive a minimum of
$5,000 under the new plan. The
winners, of course, will go into
the Series where they will be eli
gible for the money.
Under the new agreement the
first three teams in each of the
four divisions will get a share of
the Series’ player pool.
In 1968 the Detroit Tigers re
ceived $10,936 each for beating
the St. Louis Cardinals who got
$7,079.
The increase in the guaranteed
money for the Series makes
HAS 16 GAMES OF 300
ST. LOUIS (A*) — When
professional bowler Dick Weber
rolled a 300 game in the Arch
way tournament at Western Bowl
here last Dec. 14 it was his 16th
perfect game.
baseball’s postseason payoff com
pare more favorably with pro
football. The winners of the
Super Bowl get $15,000 each and
the losers $7,600.
With the 1969 expansion, each
of the two major leagues now
has 12 clubs divided into two
six-club divisions. The two Na
tional League division winners
will play a best of five series to
determine the loop’s representa
tive in the World Series. The
same format will hold true in
the American League.
As in the past, the World Ser
ies will be a best-of-seven affair.
Under the old rules of baseball,
the World Series players were
guaranteed a minimum of $250,-
000 from the Series to be split 60
per cent for the winners and 40
per cent for the losers. The new
play will raise the guarantee to
$800,000 for the two teams, $482,-
000 for the winners, $320,000 for
the losers.
In addition a guaranteed mini
mum pool of $320,000 was creat
ed for the players of the two
clubs losing the two best-of-five
divisional playoffs,
players of other clubs down to
the third place finisher in each
division.
The gate receipts of the World
Series will continue to be allo
cated substantially as in the past
with 15 per cent of the balance
into the player pool. Seventy
per cent of the player pool goes
to the two Series teams to be
split on a 60-40 basis and the
balance is distributed among the
In addition, one half of the
gate receipts from the first three
of each of the divisional playoffs
will go into a new play-off pool.
This will be divided with 30 per
cent to the winners and 20 per
cent to the losers who would get
a minimum of $5,000.
