Interesting how that coincides with my theory that there will be another civil war in America in my lifetime...that's the first time I've seen the first civil war brought into it.
I get what he's saying, but I need to make a correction. He traded him to the White Sox. Along with then prospect Wilson Alvarez, a left-handed pitcher that is still in the league somewhere. For Harold Baines, a great player but he was ancient by then, and quite washed up. I want to say he traded for Oil Can Boyd as well, which was also a disaster in its own right.i liked this part:
"You can make a case that Abraham Lincoln did what he had to do, the public be damned. If you roll the dice on your gut and you’re right, history remembers you well. But, when your gut led you from one business failure to another, when your gut told you to trade Sammy Sosa to the Cubs, and you use the same gut to send our sons and daughters to fight and die in a distraction from the real war on terror, then history will and should be unapologetic in its condemnation."
