1977 Major League Draft

Here is the first round of the 1977 Major League Baseball draft. 

Baines must have been overly eager to sign with the 'Sox. He accepted by far the lowest signing bonus for a #1 overall pick with a paltry $32,000. Bob Horner would more than quintuple it a year later. In fact, #3 overall pick Paul Molitor scored a $77,500 bonus.
