Sports: PRO BASEBALL PLAYER TRADED FOR BATS
Posted June 1, 2008 7:34 PM
Now we've heard it all! A minor league pitcher was actually traded from the Calgary Vipers to the Laredo Broncos for 10 baseball bats! You've heard us correctly. For a mere $650, John Odom, affectionately called, "Batman" by his peers, was traded. It's not like Odom was a total bum either. Sure he is a bit on the old side, about 5 years past the prime time that the scouts of the big show look for, but Odom also hums a fastball around 93 miles per hour. Seems like a talent like that would be worth more than a few sticks of maple. Even if it's really really great maple! For a guy like John, who takes it all in stride, we recommend another guy gift, and baseball fan necessity - these awesome Personalized Rawlings Baseball Bats. John, we've got a bat for ya, and we're going to put the name "BATMAN" on it so you'll always remember that you own the last laugh. Oh, and we'll be looking for you to be the closer for the Dodgers in the next year or two.
