Last year, Chris Perez pitched an exceptional 1.70 ERA with 23 saves in 27 tries. This year, he's back closing on the mound for the Cleveland Indians. Coming back netted him a cool $2.2 million salary for 2011. So what did he spend it on? A $20,000 baseball card . The card is a one-of-a-kind fold out booklet with the autographs of nine starting players from the 1927 New York Yankees. The famous lineup was nicknamed "Murderers' Row", and included baseball greats Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
