July 1 , better known as Bobby Bonilla Day to Mets fans, has become a celebration in its own right when the Mets pay the former major leaguer $ 1,193,248.20 as part of an agreement he made with the ball club when it bought out his contract in 2000 .
Bonilla signed with the Mets on a five-year , $29 million deal in 1991 , the richest contract in team sports.
Bonilla said he hopes other players will be encouraged to put deferred payments in MLB contracts.
Ken Griffey Jr. had been receiving $ 3,593,750 annually from the Reds from deferred payments that began in 2009 .
