My Dad ran one of these contests way back when. Then he and his co-worker showed everyone how it was done. They were darn near playing football with the egg they were tossing about.

You know, Falvey was quoted as saying something along the lines of doing things to inspire a team to do better. Falvey traded some peripheral pieces and the Twins are looking at a 7 game winning streak. Thins that make you say "Hmmm" for $100, Alex.
