We get used to hearing huge dollar sums thrown around in our culture, and we get numb to it. Sometimes we need to step back and think about what it would mean. Yesterday a local high school baseball player, Josh Bell from Dallas Jesuit, signed with the Pirates for a $5mm signing bonus. Bell was top 10 quality but circulated a letter to all major league teams stating he would be attending UT. The Pirates spent a 2nd round pick on him and threw top-10 money at him, and it worked. Can you imagine your child playing ball, getting good, getting better, and then all of a sudden you get a $5 million check?! It's hard to imagine.
