Arte Moreno has shown you and your agent the world on your visit with the Angels. Couldn't have been nicer, more accommodating, and more forthcoming with information. You and Scott are wined and dined more than ever.You come back to Moreno's office to work out the details. They're offering you a four-year deal worth $100 million in order to once again steal the thunder away from the Dodgers in Los Angeles. You are impressed beyond your wildest dreams. But then there's a problem.
EEK EEK!
"Aaaaah!!! What the hell is that???"
"That's our rally monkey."
EEEEEEEEEEEK!!!
"He bit my ear Mr. Moreno!!! Aaaah jeez he's stuck on my braids!!!"
EEK EEK! (fwap!)
"Owwww! Those are my braids on the floor!!! That f-----g monkey ripped my hair out!!!"
Obviously, you and the world famous rally monkey cannot co-exist. Is a monkey reason enough to turn down a very lucrative deal?
No -- you'll forgive, forget, and sign with Anaheim
... or ...
Yes -- you'll walk away, ponder the rest of your life, and see a hair replacement specialist
