Paul O’Neill had one of the funnier sports moments in Seinfeld history, appearing in 1995’s The Wink in Season 7 of the NBC sitcom: O’Neill gets roped into hitting two home runs in his next game by Kramer so that Kramer can get back a birthday card for George Steinbrenner that’s signed by every Yankee.
On Thursday, O’Neill revealed on the Yankees’ YES broadcast that he still gets residual checks that are around $57 a year, which isn’t bad money for something he did nearly 30 years ago.
Here’s that moment, along with the acting cameo that gets him that check every year:
"Do you still get residual checks for being on [Seinfeld]?" – David Cone
"Yeah, you know what they are? They're like 57 bucks. It's not big time. It's a good reminder, though, that you were on the show. It's kinda cool." – Paul O'Neill ⚾️📺🎙️💰 pic.twitter.com/mHPTKoAlll
