At what price, Manny Machado? Sorry, Phillies. It's infinity and beyond! | David Murphy

Back in the olden days, when people used to do things like ring doorbells and read magazines, there was a magazine company that was known for ringing people’s doorbells and giving them a million bucks. I’m not really sure of the particulars, not because I forget them, but because nobody was ever really sure of them. Back then, a million dollars was a lot of money, and there weren’t a lot of ways for an honest working man to acquire such a sum. We didn’t have YouTube or reality TV or InstaSnap. You won a game show, you’d be lucky to walk away with $2,600 and a trip to Myrtle Beach during off-peak season.
