Do you want to help out the needy?

[Shotgun]

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:

[ ] Starting Pitcher

[ ] Ace Pitcher

[ ] Entire team (Please call our 900 number to ask for the cost of a

specific team - $10 per minute)

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

very

own Donald Fehr MLB Players Union pin

to wear proudly on my hat (include $80 for hat).

This is wonderful, tears came to my eyes [from laughing] and I reached for my checkbook and locked it up.
