Ruby parse csv to usable hash - ruby

Question

I'm making a graph of NBA team payrolls. I have this csv: http://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/

In ruby I wrote:
def payrolls
payrolls = {}
CSV.foreach("payrolls.csv", :headers => true, :header_converters => :symbol, :converters => :all) do |row|
payrolls[row.fields[1]] = Hash[row.headers[1..-1].zip(row.fields[1..-1])]
end
puts payrolls.inspect
end
Which outputs:
{
"Cleveland Cavaliers"=>{:team=>"Cleveland Cavaliers", :"201617"=>"$123590274", :"201718"=>"$118585590", :"201819"=>"$111958508", :"201920"=>"$65464580", :"202021"=>nil, :"202122"=>nil},
"Los Angeles Clippers"=>{:team=>"Los Angeles Clippers", :"201617"=>"$118663837", :"201718"=>"$111415942", :"201819"=>"$59741545", :"201920"=>"$2500725", :"202021"=>nil, :"202122"=>nil
}
Which is fairly usable. However, since the years heading is a number, when I use
payrolls[Cleveland Cavaliers][:201617]
I'm getting this error:
payrolls.rb:31: syntax error, unexpected tINTEGER, expecting tSTRING_CONTENT or tSTRING_DBEG or tSTRING_DVAR or tSTRING_END
puts payrolls["Cleveland Cavaliers"][:201617]
Thus, what is the best way to get the salary data for the graph?

Answer 1

Your code has a syntax error which I fixed: you didn't have the second to last }:
hash = {
"Cleveland Cavaliers"=>{:team=>"Cleveland Cavaliers", :"201617"=>"$123590274", :"201718"=>"$118585590", :"201819"=>"$111958508", :"201920"=>"$65464580", :"202021"=>nil, :"202122"=>nil},
"Los Angeles Clippers"=>{:team=>"Los Angeles Clippers", :"201617"=>"$118663837", :"201718"=>"$111415942", :"201819"=>"$59741545", :"201920"=>"$2500725", :"202021"=>nil, :"202122"=>nil}
}
You should access the hash by the key. Neither Cleveland Cavaliers nor :201617 are valid objects, thus you get the error.
The key you are looking at is :"201617":
hash["Cleveland Cavaliers"][:"201617"]
#=> "$123590274"

Answer 2

Use a string instead of a symbol:
payrolls["Cleveland Cavaliers"]["201617"]
