30 pages in, and nothing has been as much of a comfort as this beautifully crafted baseball memoir. Forget the best sellers, this is Halo Nation required reading. Pick up a used copy for about $8 bucks after shipping.

 

A good companion while you have the latest loss playing in the background.

My favorite move is how they decided to let Bobby Bonilla defer his final year of salary for 11 years and in effect ended up paying him $29.8 million instead of just buying him out for $5.9 million.

 

$29.8M paid as 15 year annuity starting 11 years in the future is actually equal to a 2001 present-value of $5.9M if you assume an interest rate of something like 5-6%. Since the Mets were getting something like 10% a year returns on all their Madoff investments at the time they figured they were coming out ahead.
