Charlottesvillain over at TigerHawk has a funny post about Neal Cotts, the relief pitcher, who just inked a free-agent contract with the Cubs, and whose contract has a clause that will pay him $150,000 if he is named World Series MVP. Read the post, because it's harder to think of what's more unlikely -- Cotts' winning the award or the Cubs' winning the World Series.
What could some other creative clauses be? Who is Cotts' agent? What is Cotts' agent thinking? Where are the actuaries? What are the better odds -- that the Cubs will win the World Series and Cotts will be Series' MVP or that Cotts will get hit by lightning while playing golf during the late afternoon of an off-day in the middle of August?
My guess is that Mr. Cotts is buying Power Ball tickets to supplement his salary.
