Baseball must be borrowing money from the NFL... no idea where it's all coming from.

So much money...

Local boy made really damn good.

I had no idea until today that Cain played at Houston. I can't figure out how I didn't know that.

Maybe because he actually lived in Fayette County. School district enforcement at its finest.

You sound bitter about it.

Nah..little older than me, never played against him. Lot of people were unhappy about it though.

 

[005]

What was the reason for him switching schools? just to get noticed?

 

[shelbyvillevol]

I'm sure it was to play at Houston. They were a juggernaut back in the early - mid 2000's.

 

[Heebs]

Way overpaid.

Believe so. Colton Harris(UT commit) also transferred into Dyer County from another school outside the district.

He resigned himself, with a long sigh, to accepting $127.5M.
