Chris,
I made this bed, now I have to sleep in it! Andrew is correct--I wish I never started the whole subject.

Re: Ethics Question Regarding Game Used & Fanfests
I remember reading an article about the Expos possibly moving to Washington DC in 2002 sometime.
I swear I remember reading that name, "Andrew Lang", in the story. I think he had discussions at the time with Bud Selig. I will Google it and try to find the story to share it with you.
It is my belief that Andrew Lang was behind the whole move and had major influence in it coming to be. He had planned for many years to corner the market on the lesser known bench players of a last place team. I can just see him now, the filthy greedy pig, grabbing the jerseys off the racks and tables as he sprinted through the 400 square foot cathedral, leaving behind the superstars of the likes of Paul "Pincushion-butt" La Duca.
You guys never stood a chance. The filthy pig.
Hi Andrew, was nice talking to you via email the other night!!!
