Justin Verlander Entered Into An Unconscionable, Voidable Contract For Milk In The 10th Grade

Per Sports Illustrated:
On his [Justin Verlander's] deal with friend Daniel Hicks in 10th grade
I wanted a chocolate milk that cost 50 cents, and I didn't have the money. So I said, "How about I give you. 1 percent of my pro signing bonus if you give me 50 cents now?" He found a napkin, wrote it up, and I signed it. I forgot about it, but after I signed, he comes over and whips out this old napkin. I'm like, Oh my God! My bonus was three-point-something million. Was a chocolate milk worth $3,000? I want to say yes. I was parched.
And I thought Milk was expensive at $3.15 a gallon.
