Title says it all... so im just putzing around. Went to a speaker event last night with Sandy Alderson, former CEO of the Padres and A's. He had some good things to say about leadership in general, but nothing really earth-shattering. From a baseball perspective, i found it interesting that Money-Ball actually pre-dates the Billy Bean era and that it started back in 80's. Apparently, Mark McGwire was the first guy selected based on those criteria. Nobody asked about steriods though.
At some point he talked about the Yankees as an example of a team that is able to go out and spend and asked if there were any NY fans out there. I was the only one (surprise). I then got booed by my colleagues. I then turned around, and in Morpheous fashion (with hand-gesters) just said "bring it on". Sandy then said i better be working on Wall Street to afford those seats. Oh Sandy, if you only knew...
