Re: [baseballmn] How much is this worth?

I'm reminded of the time I was sitting in the press box next to Reusse and Sid at the Micron PC.
com. Bowl at Pro Player Stadium, Dec. 28, 2000 (Gophers vs. NC State).  The old fool Hartman (as usual), was bitching and yelling about the refs.  Reusse could stand it no longer and said:  "Sid, if you'll shut up for five minutes, I'll pay you $5.  Then, from the row behind us came the voice of a Florida reporter:  "I'll pay you $10."  The bidding continued.

So it's worth $5 per game to Reusse to get Sid AWAY from him? You're missing the real value here of a kiss-and-make-up. You could make a fortune for some charity by selling videos of the two of you actually kissing. Maybe a little groping. Consider it.

Friday night during the game, Reusse said to me, "Why don't you and Sid kiss and make up so that he'll come back up and sit by you?" Sid used to sit next to the official scorer but now sits in the first row with the other Star Tribune writers. When I asked how much it would be worth to him, Reusse said five dollars a game. Molly Gallatin of the Twins p.r. department sits by me, and this would put Sid next to her as well as me, so I asked her opinion and, of course, she said no. Later I told Reusse that anything I got I'd have to split with Molly, so he said it would be five dollars for each of us per game (and only for games that Reusse attended), but we still didn't think that was nearly enough. As Cory Roufs of KFAN said, "That wouldn't even cover the dry-cleaning bill." (Among his other charms, Sid is a messy eater.) I think we made the right/correct decision.

Congrats on shedding Sid, apparently a worthy objective. Joe Namath couldn't even get him out of his shower. ... From:...
