Happy Bobby Bonilla Day! What is Bobby Bonilla Day? When does the Bobby Bonilla Day contract end? What we know on MLB deal with Mets, age stats and more.

In keeping with tradition -- and contractual obligation -- the sports world comes together every July 1 to acknowledge Bobby Bonilla Day, the day the New York Mets pay the now-62-year-old former All-Star outfielder just a shade over $1 million.

By now, the Mets might as well declare July 1 an official holiday. It’s Bobby Bonilla Day, and the 62-year-old will be receiving a fresh check of $1.19 million from the Mets as part of one of the most bizarre contracts in sports history .
