Paul O'Neill is still making money off Seinfeld all these years later

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
