"if you had a 360 hitter on the same team with 100 RBI's would you give him a bonus?"

If he had a bonus performance clause...butts on the seats, points above .350, RBIs over 150... 100 ain't remarkable.

"There were profits in the majority of the company"
There were good seasons by the Niners' Dee and kickers. Nobody got the Super Bowl winner bonus, tho.

Asked why he was demanding a higher salary than President Herbert Hoover, Ruth said, "I had a better year than he did."

These guys didn't; even tho Shrub tried his best.

There were profits in the majority of the company - it's the guys who sold the derivative instruments that brought the entire company down.
