       Thanks Reb.  That answers most of the questions, and is probably
       as close as we will get.  I would like to get a definition of
       the paragraph
       "Under MLB's collective bargaining agreement, full-time
       ballplayers, who were with their teams from June 1 to Aug. 31,
       govern how the postseason cash is distributed and to whom."
       The 25 man roster is hardly constant, even from June 1 to August
       1.  Hammel was sent down to the minors for two days.  Does he
       get a vote?  Schwarber was not on the roster at all during that
       time.  Does he get a vote?  Patton was up and down a half dozen
       times during that time.  Does he get a vote?
       None of the above is of any importance whatsoever.  I am just
       curious about such things.

       I expect extreme generosity regarding awarding of shares.  That
       would be the Cub Way.

       This board was essential in advising, encouraging, and pushing
       the Cubs to the title and we should get a full share.   Dave 23
       and I will divide it up among board members.

       Yeah, it's sure a change to be in the position that the Cubs are
       now in.  And Jim Hendry is a classy guy, heaping praise on the
       job that Theo has done in the way that he does.

       Yes, it's been really nice to see Epstein giving credit to
       Hendry and Hendry so effusive in his praise of Theo and the
       front office.
       What a near best-case scenario this season has been!

       reb, thanks for that link.  Really interesting.  Classy.  I also
       thought the comments from Mrs. Hammel were very interesting.
       And encouraging.
       [quote]Said Elissa, “We established a good relationship with
       them personally and professionally where there was mutual
       respect for not just using us as a chess piece, but really kind
       of caring about their players and their players’ families, which
       is really why they succeeded this year.
       “The families of the Cubs’ organization are treated like gold.
       And they know how that affects the player. I don’t think it’s
       just us. They know there is a ripple effect. You keep the family
       happy, you keep the player happy and the players can perform.
       They followed that mantra the entire time we were
       there.”[/quote]
