Former Nl Mvp Keith Hernandez Makes Hundreds Of Dollars Every Time His Seinfeld Episode Airs

Former NL MVP Keith Hernandez appeared in a two-part episode called “The Boyfriend.” The episodes came out on February 12, 1992, and Hernandez continues to receive a check every month. According to Darren Rovell, Hernandez earns $500 to $1,000 every time his Seinfeld episodes air. By Hernandez’s own account, he makes about $3,000 per year for his appearances. Even going by Hernandez’s smaller estimate, that’s still a total of $78,000 for less than ten minutes of screen time. Not a bad deal! Nowadays, Hernandez is a commentator for the New York Mets. In “The Boyfriend,” he befriends Jerry and dates Elaine, Julia-Louis Dreyfus’s character. He also makes an appearance in the series finale. Hernandez, who won the NL MVP in 1979, gets a nice chunk of change anytime his episode airs. By comparison, former Mets reliever Roger McDowell only receives $13.52 whenever “The Boyfriend” airs. McDowell has a brief but fantastic cameo in the second part of the episode. Though Hernandez has long since hung up his cleats, he’s still scoring with his Seinfeld appearances.
