I’d have figured they’d have gotten exhausted by your sanctimony by now.

I prolly orter savour this moment.

Our friends in Canada and elsewhere could really help relieve us of eating our own guts out with spite, bile and selfishness if they would just stop taking us so seriously.

Nice guy. Jays do good works.

That’s pretty forward thinking. My conservative friends in California tell me they pay the same taxes we do. Difference is we get something for it. Well, you know, other than bombs and planes and things to blow up in Iraq. I know this is a baseball blog but you opened the door for this on what I hope was a poor attempt at homour. Unfortunately, it is what far too many Americans think about a country that is far more forward thinking than their own.

Some players directly contribute a portion of their salary to the Foundation. Vernon Wells was very generous in that regard. The Foundation also conducts on air auctions of Jay’s memorabilia at least once a season. The Lady Jays (wives and girl friends) also have fundraisers.
