The Deal LeBron Should Take

If Lebron James doesn't stay in Cleveland, there's one offer he should consider above all others.

The Oklahoma City Redhawks, who are the Texas Rangers Triple-A minor league baseball affiliate have offered the free agent an interesting deal. In addition to offering the maximum allowable minor league salary (something shy of $1 million), they are also offering:
-Free housing in a 1500 sq.ft. home owned by the team in Harrah, OK
-Lawn maintenance in the the above home by one of the Redhawks' own groundskeepers
-A new hotdog at the games known as the "LeBrawtwurst"--King James himself would get to "design" the toppings for the hotdog
-Throw out the first pitch every night
-All Lebron runs will count for 2, and each homerun will count for 3

So, I think the other teams should just pull back their offers right now. I think we know where his heart will lead him.

This is incredibly funny and creative. I am in your debt! BTW-- the article you wrote most recently above this one is a wonderful, well-conceived piece that really helps clarify the ideas of pride in country and in the various forms that should be encouraged. I haven't seen this put better. The quotes were both challenging and inspiring. Thank you! Dan
