This topic reminds me of Bobby Bonilla Day. For those who don't follow, Bobby Bonilla was a baseball player - a pretty good one, in fact, from 1986-2001. Before the 2000 season, the New York Mets wanted to dump Bonilla and his $5.5M wages left on his contract. So they reached an agreement to defer payment and effect his immediate release...and so, with interest included, every July 1(Bobby Bonilla Day) Bobby Bonilla receives a $1.2M payment from the New York Mets and will do so until 2035. Bobby Bonilla retired from baseball in 2001.
