Money was originally signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates as an amateur free agent in 1965 out of La Plata High School in southern Maryland.

[1] While still in the minors, the Pirates traded him in 1967 to the Philadelphia Phillies (with Harold Clem, Woodie Fryman and Bill Laxton) for Jim Bunning.

With the Phillies looking to make room for Mike Schmidt, Money was part of a seven-player deal that sent him, John Vukovich and Bill Champion to the Brewers for Jim Lonborg, Ken Brett, Ken Sanders and Earl Stephenson on October 31, 1972.

Money, having his worst major league season to date, only had three plate appearances as the Brewers lost the series to New York, 3 games to 2.

He saw more action the following postseason as the Brewers defeated the California Angels in the American League Championship Series.

[6] On April 10, 1976, Money hit a grand slam off Dave Pagan of the New York Yankees, only to see it taken back because the first base umpire had called time before the pitch was delivered.

Money had watched many games of the Yomiuri Giants and noted the large crowds and their beautiful stadium.

The team put Money up in a cockroach-ridden apartment rather than a house in a tree-lined setting as he felt he had been promised.

[citation needed] After one month, Money packed up his family and moved back to his farm in Vineland, New Jersey.

[9] Money began his minor league coaching career as manager of the Class A Oneonta Tigers from 1987 to 1988.
