Pizza Hut Would Have Sealed the Deal

 

From Kevin Baxter:

A few years ago, when the Detroit Tigers were pursuing free-agent pitcher Carl Pavano, they had trouble keeping pace with the Yankees, Red Sox and Seattle when the bidding topped $40 million.

So Tigers owner and pizza baron Mike Ilitch reportedly offered Pavano a number of Little Caesars’ franchises to increase the value of the contract while staying within the team’s budget.

Pavano said no to the dough and signed with the Yankees instead.

….Good…God……
