SI.com - MLB - Holy Toledo! Mud Hens make offer to A-Rod - Thursday November 1, 2007 4:15PM

This made me laugh. Steinbrenner's sons are going to become the laughingstocks of baseball.

Quote:

Hank Steinbrenner, a son of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, told the New York Times, "Does he want to go into the Hall of Fame as a Yankee, or a Toledo Mud Hen?" The Mud Hens decided to find out, said Jason Griffin, a spokesman for the Detroit Tiger's top farm team.

Quote:

But the offer stipulates that Rodriguez will have to compete for a spot with Toledo third basemen Mike Hessman, the league's most valuable player last season.
"Would your client be willing to play a different position?" the letter asked.
