Bag of balls
The old joke about professional baseball players who were struggling: "He was traded for a bag of balls." In fact, back in the day, the head of one group of editors offered to trade a struggling editor for, "a bag of balls."
Well, life imitates the joke: John Odom was traded for 10 baseball bats. IJS: I'd have held out for a couple of lineup cards and a catcher's mask.
