Playoff share amounts released; Angels are classy!

[rsmath]

MLB announced the playoff share money amounts. Yankees take home MLB record share amount.

The Angels were very classy in awarding Nick Adenhart's estate a full share.

Details here from the Biz of Baseball website:

Wow. Nice move by the Angels! As a Yankee fan, I sure hate playing them, but they always get my respect.

Good move. Earned my respect taboot

Another classy Angels move is the 7,995 partial shares awarded -- it leads me to believe everyone from toilet cleaners and concession workers up through the front office staff got to enjoy some partial share amount.

Here is a little more from the Angels web site. The team voted on it at the beginning of the playoffs and notified Mr. Adenhart that was the intent of the entire organization.

what's with the facepalms? Do you not think Arte is demonstrating how valuable all employees are to the organization if the purpose of those thousands of partial shares was to be given to them? By my rough calculations and assuming everyone receives an equal partial share, it is like $125 for every one of those nearly 8,000 partial share pieces. That is a nice baseball box or a nice gift for the family.

Oh, I think I get it. no employer cares about their employees anymore so Arte is the renegade owner by caring.

I think it has something to do with a period (decimal point) rather than a comma...

7POINT995

Now granted, I'm a fan, but never once did I think the rest of the fans out there had "little respect" for the Angels franchise. So to me, this was assumed and expected.

Beat me to it. The score is now M.M.M. 1, Mudflap 1.

They awarded 7.995 partial shares.

I also assumed they would give something to Adenhart.

okay, now it makes sense. I misread (misintrepreted) it. Arte is no better of a business owner than anyone else! not sharing the wealth among those lessers in the Angels "family".

All of these teams are quite choosy with who gets playoff shares. The Angels made the playoffs in 2004 when I was there and there wasn't much talk about who would receive playoff shares, becuase there was only a select few who would get them anyway.
