A $150 hat??
In 1941 $151 was a ton of cash. The average hat was $5 to $10 at the time. The average yearly income in the USA was about $1,400 a year.
Joe made about $100/ game in 1941 - still, a nice gift.
The current Yankee starter at second base is paid more than $12K/ game, about eight times the rate of inflation during the same time stretch.
