One hundred million dollars and my kids would not even want an autograph from any of them.
90.35 million actually
Correct. Well, I will ask the kids again.
THAT’S funny Mamma. 90.35….100 close enough…
Sad news about Ryan Freel. Pound for pound a very athletic competitive player. The last time I saw him I am glad I took the time to tell him what a joy it was to watch compete. He hustled as much in practice as in a game. Many people will remember Ryan as a good guy.
Yes, terrible news. An on field fantastic competitor.
