Hey! Did You Hear The One About...

The Baseball player?????
Listening to Mike & Mike in The Morning = ESPNII, they told the story of a NON ROSTERED player, I believe somewhere within the Dodger Organization,(I was still in semi sleepy mode.) bought a home in Massachusetts, as a second home, investment.. They, (contractors?) were digging around the grounds and found that this home was sitting on Shale -a fissile rock that is formed by the consolidation of clay, mud, or silt, has a finely stratified or laminated structure, and is composed of minerals essentially unaltered since deposition ... apparently lots and lots.. they said the worth of the Shale is to be about 2 billion, yes, BILLIONDOLLARS! Not bad for a guy who's not even on the roster! I heard it on Mike and Mike ... so it's gotta be true!

Hi Bananas,
Talk about that....
He wanted to have an investment; well, he won't have the house, BUT
the value of that shale sounds like
a great nestegg ! :)

See you soon,

Sounds like I'd be giving up baseball.

Jammy bastard - he should give half of it to charity now then he could be as smug as he likes *wanders off to start digging holes everywhere*

That's pretty cool.

It usually takes at least 5 years to make a billion dollars playing baseball.

I would have liked to build my house on shale, but I screwed up and built it on debt.
