A Plea for Help!
Since September 11, 2001, Americans have come together
as never before in our generation. We have banded
together to overcome tremendous adversity. We have
weathered direct attacks on our own soil, wars
overseas, corporate scandal, layoffs, unemployment,
stock price plunges, droughts, fires, and a myriad of
economic and physical disasters both great and small.
But now, we must come together once again to overcome
our greatest challenge yet.
Hundreds of Major League Baseball players in our very
own nation are living at, just below, or in most
cases far above the seven-figure salary level. And as
if that weren't bad enough they could be deprived of
their life giving pay for several months, possibly
longer, as a result of the upcoming strike situation.
But you can help!
For only $20,835 a month, about $694.50 a day (that's
less than the cost of a large screen projection TV)
you can help a MLB player remain economically viable
during his time of need. This contribution by no
means solves the problem as it barely covers the
annual minimum salary, but it's a start, and every
little bit will help!
Although $700 may not seem like a lot of money to you,
to a baseball player it could mean the difference
between spending the strike golfing in Florida or on
a Mediterranean cruise. For you, seven hundred dollars
is nothing more than a month's rent, half a mortgage
payment, or a month of medical insurance, but to a
baseball player, $700 will partially replace his
daily salary.
Your commitment of less than $700 a day will enable a
player to buy that home entertainment center, trade in
the year-old Lexus for a new Ferrari, or enjoy a
weekend in Rio.
HOW WILL I KNOW I'M HELPING?
Each month, you will receive a complete financial
report on the player you sponsor. Detailed
information about his stocks, bonds,
401(k), real estate, and other investment holdings
will be mailed to your home. Plus, upon signing up
for this program, you will receive an unsigned photo
of the player lounging during the strike on a beach
somewhere in the Caribbean (for a signed photo,
please include an additional $150). Put the photo on
your refrigerator to remind you of other peoples'
suffering.
HOW WILL HE KNOW I'M HELPING?
Your MLB player will be told that he has a SPECIAL
FRIEND who just wants to help in a time of need.
Although the player won't know your name, he will be
able to make collect calls to your home via a special
operator in case additional funds are needed for
unforeseen expenses.
