They advocated an exclusively metal currency. I have no idea why. I'm glad they lost (to that Whig, Wm. H. Harrison)and I'll bet Mr. Strasburg and Mr. Boras are glad, too. Imagine a $15 million bonus being paid with silver dollars! <br /><br />FrontRowSeatsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5801768329447624769.post-31767783017095486532009-08-21T09:23:20.135-05:002009-08-21T09:23:20.135-05:00I once read that, in pure capitalism, your salary ...I once read that, in pure capitalism, your salary is directly related to the amount of money you bring to your employers. <br /><br />I think where people get pissed off is that with draft picks, they're only dealing in potential money they will bring.
