This is True

Hook, Line and Sinker

The minor league baseball team the Pacific Suns of Oxnard, Calif., just made a trade of a lifetime. The deal struck with the Greenville (Miss.) Bluesmen is, the Bluesmen get Suns pitcher Ken Krahenbuhl, the Suns get a player to be named later, some money, and 10 pounds of catfish. “The Suns could have gotten some players in exchange for me to help their ballclub, instead of the stinking catfish, but they just don’t care,” Krahenbuhl said. “They traded me for catfish. Can you believe that?” (AP) ...We always knew the minor leagues were bottom-feeders.
