3. Yes, We Can Imagine Them in Pinstripes
Baseball has never really captured our imagination as a sport to gamble on. And that was before we got a press release this week from Billy Martin's USA.
See, this bulletin board stock, named after the late former manager of the New York Yankees, put out a press release Thursday explaining how it hopes to raise $1.5 million and get listed on the Nasdaq.
The idea is to extend "Billy Martin's" brand name to "exciting product categories and markets both at home and abroad" -- stuff like "a collection of western-inspired home decor products; a cologne and home fragrance; a Billy Martin's western barbecue food products and restaurant concept; and a western art and artifacts division celebrating the history, beauty and natural resources of America."
Oddly enough, when we think of Billy Martin, our thoughts don't necessarily turn to cologne or the beauty of America. Rather, what pops into mind is the image of an angry, aggressive drinker who took managing jobs with the discerning quality Elizabeth Taylor has used to select husbands. When we think about Billy Martin and America's natural resources, we think about him and a drinking buddy taking a fatal drive off an icy road in upstate New York.
Yes, we're sure that with Billy Martin nipping at his heels, Ralph Lauren is quaking in his cowboy boots.
