[USML Announce] Trade

[Andrew R. Klein]

A bit of league history.

 

USML trades are normally are announced via a "Notice of Hot Wax Seal",
rather than simply an announcement of "Trade".  Buddha will be pleased to
learn that this tradition started with a franchise named Democrats for
Nixon.  The owner of that franchise, Alex Liberman, frequently would respond
to trade offers by shouting "Hot wax seal it!", typically giving no more
than two seconds worth of thought the offer.  

 

Alex named his franchise in honor of Morrie Liebman.  Morrie was a very
senior partner at Sidley who was particularly kind to young, stressed-out
litigation associates.  (In addition to buying us lunch on occassion, he
routinely gave us his 50 yard line seats at Soldier Field!)  In perusing his
lengthy resume one day, Alex saw that Morrie served as national chair for an
organization called Democrats for Nixon in 1968.  Upon learning this, Alex
immediately dumped his franchise name of Old Style Light and re-named his
team Democrats for Nixon.
