Injured Detroit Red Wings goalie Dominik Hasek has refused to accept his $3 million salary since Feb. 9. Hasek's groin injury will force him to miss the rest of the NHL season, so he feels he hasn't earned the money.
This reminds me of an anecdote Tom Selleck told about Tigers outfielder Al Kaline. After a poor season, in his opinion, Kaline was offered a salary comparable to Mickey Mantle. Kaline refused, feeling his stats that year hadn't earned the money.
