jenbobblehead Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 they played hard. and i haven't heard any reports that any of their fans killed and ate anyone, so that's probably good news too! Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 I'm reading a pretty vapid Red Sox book right now but learned that the school I'm taking graduate classes in currently (based out of Mesa, AZ) once had (at the same time) Terry Francona as a coach and "the man who's name shall not be mentioned" (that left Pedro in too long) working together for the short Fall league in 1993. Now, you may be saying to yourself: "but Lammy, that has absolutely nothing to do with anything." tAnd o that, I reply: "you're absolutely right." Link to post Share on other sites

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Players vote. It's almost certain that they would vote for someone who spent half the season with the team and was a big contributor. He might also get a partial playoff $ share. Link to post Share on other sites
PigSooie Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Why? Because he was part of the 2008 team. You can be called up for one day during the season, and get a ring. I remember them talking about this a couple of years ago, but I can't remember the involved parties. Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Are there guidelines for that (like in the MLBPA agreement) or is that up to each team? Link to post Share on other sites
PigSooie Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Wily Mo Pena got one from last year, and he was traded to the Nationals midseason. Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Yeah. I am trying to remember--did Nomar and Pedro show up in 2005 to pick up their 2004 rings? Link to post Share on other sites
PigSooie Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Yeah. I am trying to remember--did Nomar and Pedro show up in 2005 to pick up their 2004 rings? I can't remember. Wily Mo's was delivered to him. Link to post Share on other sites

MrRain422 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 It's completely up to the team. They can award rings to anyone and everyone that they choose to, and they can decide by any method that they want. They could give a ring to a guy who wasn't on the team at all this year if they wanted to. Link to post Share on other sites

It's common to award players who were a part of the team for a chunk of the season. Manny would surely get a share, I'd imagine. Last year, the Rockies even gave a full share to Mike Coolbaugh's widow/family. He was a minor league base coach for the Rockies who was killed by a line drive to the head earlier in the season.
