Just a little Friday type funny, to start what I hope is a terrific weekend for you!

A PLEA FOR HELP!
Since September 11, 2001, Americans have come together as never
before in our generation. We have banded together to overcome
tremendous adversity. We have weathered direct attacks on our own
soil, wars overseas, corporate scandal, layoffs, unemployment,
stock price plunges, droughts, fires, and a myriad of economic and
physical disasters both great and small. But now, we must come
together once again to overcome our greatest challenge yet.
Hundreds of Major League Baseball players in our very own nation
are living at, just below, or in most cases far above the
seven-figure salary level. And as if that weren't bad enough they
could be deprived of their life giving pay for several months,
possibly longer, as a result of the upcoming strike situation.
But you can help!
For only $20,835 a month, about $694.50 a day (that's less than the
cost of a large screen projection TV) you can help a MLB player
remain economically viable during his time of need. This
contribution by no means solves the problem as it barely covers the
annual minimum salary, but it's a start, and every little bit will
help!
Although $700 may not seem like a lot of money to you, to a
baseball player it could mean the difference between spending the
strike golfing in Florida or on a Mediterranean cruise. For you,
seven hundred dollars is nothing more than a month's rent, half a
mortgage payment, or a month of medical insurance, but to a
baseball player, $700 will partially replace his daily salary.
Your commitment of less than $700 a day will enable a player to buy
that home entertainment center, trade in the year-old Lexus for a
new Ferrari, or enjoy a weekend in Rio.
HOW WILL I KNOW I'M HELPING?
Each month, you will receive a complete financial report on the
player you sponsor. Detailed information about his stocks, bonds,
401(k), real estate, and other investment holdings will be mailed
to your home. Plus, upon signing up for this program, you will
receive an unsigned photo of the player lounging during the strike
on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean (for a signed photo, please
include an additional $150). Put the photo on your refrigerator to
remind you of other peoples' suffering.
HOW WILL HE KNOW I'M HELPING?
Your MLB player will be told that he has a SPECIAL FRIEND who just
wants to help in a time of need. Although the player won't know
your name, he will be able to make collect calls to your home via a
special operator in case additional funds are needed for unforeseen
expenses.
YES, I WANT TO HELP!
I would like to sponsor a striking MLB player. My preference is
checked below:
[ ] Infielder [ ] Outfielder [ ] Starting Pitcher [ ] Ace Pitcher
[ ] Entire team (Please call our 900 number to ask for the cost of
a specific team - $10 per minute)
[ ] Alex Rodriguez (Higher cost: $60,000 per day)
Please charge the account listed below $694.50 per day for the
player for the duration of the strike. Please send me a picture of
the player I have sponsored, along with an Alex Rodriguez 2001
Income Statement and my very own Donald Fehr MLB Players Union pin
to wear proudly on my hat (include $80 for hat).
