I haven't seen "dress up as Santa," but I was pleasantly shocked to get the rookie hazing in September of year 1 where I had to wear a stuffed animal suit -lol- Is that the same thing you're referring to?

Another shocking one was having the manager plead with us to help him keep his job (I'm playing on the Rangers). We were sucking and he gave a pre-series speech about how the owner was going to be attending all three games and we absolutely couldn't get swept -lol-

lolya, that was funny.
what happens if you DO get swept though?

It's funny when you're traded. I got traded to the pirates-
"Well (Player Name) good luck in your game with the Pirates tomorrow!"
You: "Wait whaaa?"

You have been suddenly traded.

Nevermind about Santa - I went through the first offseason this afternoon and saw that event at Christmas :)

the typo amount
but in your 3rd year there are no more "typos"


In my 3rd year, I agreed to 2,500/HR. He's a 40+ HR guy and he just got a $1.7Mil contract so I thought, why not. The jerk of a coach added an extra zero. $25,000/HR! It's mid June and I owe $675,000! I'm addicted to the longball so I can't not try. I hate that coach. No more conditional donations for me.

My 2nd year I decided to donate $500 per homerun, I would love if it stayed $500 but it will probably be $5,000 which I knew what I was getting into, I just thought I would be nice. I probably wont hit a lot of homeruns this year, I have a lot of power but I suck because the cursor moves around crazily.

If your guy hit's 40 homeruns your essentially making $700,000

Dang that sucks, also when do we find out that he made a typo? Does he just randomly tell you or is it after you do something that you agreed to donate for?

Okay, well I haven't seen anything yet, I've played 11 games so far and hit my first homerun a couple games ago so hopefully I don't get duped into $5,000 per homerun and only pay $500 per homerun.

I was saying that as it is a bad thing, because you should be making a lot more than $700,000.

For whatever reason, this player isn't getting the recognition he deserves. I guess his fan total is pretty low at 100,000. It's hard to win player of the week when guys like Uggla and Chipper Jones are hitting .500 with 4 HRs and 20 RBIs every other week.

Agreed, I thought I was going to win it one time my rookie year when I hit .624 with 2 HR and 5 RBI but Adam Laroche beat me out with .500 4 HR and 6 RBI. It's pretty hard to hit 4 homeruns in a week.
