Question:
The first professional football player was W. W. Pudge Heffelfinger, a former All-American at Yale, who was working on a railroad in 1892 when he was paid $500 to play one game for the Allegheny Athletic Association against the Pittsburgh Athletic Club. (Pudge scored the game’s only touchdown, on a 25-yard run.) Using a scale of 100 in 1967, the CPI was 27 in 1892 and 653.2 in 2010. What was the value in 2010 dollars of Pudge’s one-game salary in 1892? Is this value higher or lower than $68,750, the average National Football League player’s salary per game in 2010?
