I keep reading things related to options and arbitration and i wonder how do you know so much about some of the business things of baseball? For example, the whole, options, arbitration, and everything that goes along with those type of roster moves? Is there somewhere that I can read up on that as reference?

Re: Jay
Cleveland has the most Calder Cups with nine all-time, you know (well, tied now with Hershey). We're the best in something!

Re: Jay
But without getting into too much of a hockey discussion, the China Wall is one of the best goaltenders of all-time, and maybe the best in the A. Two Vézina trophies, three Calder Cups, three Stanley Cups, three-time (consecutive to boot) AHL MVP. 552 NHL games played, 250 wins, 195 losses, 90 ties, 37 shutouts, and a 2.51 GAA. In addition, he remains the AHL career shutout leader. Johnny Bower's the man.

Re: Jay
When I was about 13 I went to a Baron's game at the old Cleveland Arena with my Uncle Earl. As I was coming back with some popcorn I literally bumped into Mr. Bower. After seeing him produce about 10 shut-outs in person I thought is was the greates goalie who ever laced on a pair of skates. Anyway I couldn't bring myself to say a word. He just said, "Hi kid" I nodded and went back to my seat.
When I got home I told my mom to never wash my "Johnny Bower" shirt again.

Re: Jay
When I was about 12 we had a group of kids from TRW families that rented the old arena every Monday. Kids hockey in the afternoon, free skating at night.
Danny, Johnny and a couple others took on about twenty of us kids and Danny hip checked me, 115 pounds worth, about forty rows into the seats.
They didn't even call a penalty, just alot of lauging and they LET me score a goal after that.
Those were the days.

I grew up at the Stadium watching the Tribe and the Browns (saw Jim Brown plow throught a 25-yeard mudhole against Pittsburgh in 1965 or '66 and I remember watching Oscar Robertson play with the Cincinnati Royals at the old Arena when they'd play some of their home games there. They gave away free "basketballs" one night that looked good but were so cheap they wouldn't even bounce straight).
I never went to one Barons game but in '74 we did go to several Crusaders games (that league had some cachet already). No one that I ever knew in South Euclid paid any attention to the Barons.

Re: Jay
BTW, the places we remember don't even exist any more - how sad.
