- KnightMareInc, on 12/07/2007, -0/+26I was expecting something ludicrous, I was disappointed
- Vaiosaurus, on 12/07/2007, -2/+22I can't believe Charlie Kerfeld asked for Orange Jell-O. Cherry is SO much better.
- akatherder, on 12/07/2007, -1/+16I knew this sounded familiar. This was lifted from a 2005 USA Today article by Rod Beaton.
Nothing against the submitter, but buried for plagiarism. - allaboutdatiki, on 12/07/2007, -2/+17Cherry? The heck with that. Lime rules!
- jefbob, on 12/07/2007, -0/+9My thoughts exactly. A few were strange (i.e. the Jello), but some seem like they might be normal. Like players asking for transportation for their families to games, which makes up a few of these. Also, there are a couple of performance based bonus incentives there, which aren't really that strange.
- grantmc1, on 12/07/2007, -0/+9haha the bulldozer :s
- bamafun, on 12/07/2007, -0/+8actually i like the sparkling cherry flavor ! Has anyone else noticed they didn't release a 2007 Jello mold in stores like they have in the past?
- edicius, on 12/07/2007, -1/+6"buried for plagiarism"?!?.. Well, allow me to officially welcome you to the internet. Have a look around, I'm sure you'll find something that you like.
- Tinu, on 12/07/2007, -3/+7I'm sorry. Gonna hafta cast my vote w/ cherry.
- sgtbutterscotch, on 12/07/2007, -1/+5I wonder if the G.M.'s put some of the strange stuff in there just to see if the player's agent is paying attention.
- Bourgie59, on 12/07/2007, -1/+5Houston Astros, 3 times, FTW.
- graemee, on 12/07/2007, -0/+4I'm waiting for the PLAID Clauses in Baseball Contracts list.
- amgamer23, on 12/07/2007, -0/+3I think the most ludicrous thing about Dice-K's contract was the fact that the Sox had to pay $50 mil just to TALK to him about signing a contract. THAT is nutso...
- protogenxl, on 12/07/2007, -0/+3Bands do it to and sometimes they are funny as hell like the one for Iggy Pop and the Stooges
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1004061iggypo ... - Joel32, on 12/07/2007, -2/+5Arod has a clause where he only makes money when he hits HR's in meaningless games.
- molochi, on 12/07/2007, -1/+3Wow,Beaton must be psychic. Writing in 2005 about 2007, impressive.
- inactive, on 12/07/2007, -0/+2My thoughts exactly.
- Tinu, on 12/07/2007, -0/+2I haven't tried sparkling cherry. The Jello mold thing I'm totally unaware of. I'd digg a story about that. Hint. hint.
- scoobycarolan, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1What a bunch of asshats! Except Rollie Fingers, that ***** had style!
- pon4v, on 11/17/2008, -0/+1Where is he right now?
http://www.worthbatforsale.com - scarletknight88, on 12/07/2007, -1/+2I was ready to un-Digg based on your comment, but I found the Beaton article. "Plagiarism" is far too strong a claim. Only two of the examples even overlap.
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/2005-04-07 ... - ronaldinho, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1I really don't know what's SO ludicrous about these. Some of them are weird, yes (bulldozer? limo trip for wife?), but not all of them, like Dice-K's contractual clause for his number. Athletes are a lot more in love than you might think......
- edicius, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1Maybe they're left fielders.
- willywalloo, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1250 Grand for wife's expenses...that's great that his wife/whatever is contractual.
- pmctosh, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1Really these guys didn't have much imagination. Riding lesson, a bulldozer, a few packs of jello. You would think they could come up with something a bit more out of left field kinda strange.
- inactive, on 12/07/2007, -1/+2Orange is the best flavor, you sir are WRAWNG!
- TheKappa, on 12/12/2007, -0/+1Most of these are baseball players... I'd tell them to go "Eff" themselves.
- ronaldinho, on 12/07/2007, -1/+1You would think they could do better to improve their team than to write-in weird clauses into their players' contracts
- kingp, on 12/07/2007, -2/+1I see what you did there, and it made me lol.
