1991 Major League Draft

Here is the first round of the 1991 Major League Baseball draft. 

Taylor's agent managed to fleece the Yankees (what? no sympathy for George?) for a signing bonus ($1,550,000) that was nearly five times larger than the largest one (for a #1 overall pick) of all time! It seems unlikely that any draft pick in any sport will ever top that multiple. (Complete list of #1 overall signing bonuses.)
