Exactly. Apparently it wasn't enough for I-Rod to put up a bunch of phony numbers, now he has to make up phony stories too.
I'll tell you a real story. A good friend of mine who is a heavy memorabilia collector gave me a large framed photo of the Bartman incident signed by Moises Alou. I even have the authentication along with photos of Alou signing it. He also bought one for himself.
So, my friend who gave me the picture happens to have a business associate who is best friends with Bartman. One day the two of them are out to lunch and my friend asks the guy if he could prevail upon Bartman to sign our pictures for us. The guy is incredulous and asks my friend if he is insane. He said he wouldn't even think of asking Bartman such a thing.Bartman just wants that shit in the past. He never made a dime off that shit, he sure isn't going to sign anything for you.
At the end of the lunch my buddy is grabbing the check when an idea hits. So he says to the guy, "Do you ever go out to eat with Bartman?" The guys says, "He's my best friend. Of course we go out to eat sometimes." So my friend says, "Well, maybe the next time Bartman picks up the check you can grab the signed receipt off the table. I'll pay you for it and I can stick it under the frame of my picture."
