We might need a new category for "The Protective Cups" unless it fits under
Baseball as necessary gear for catchers ...

I propose that we formally designate Andy as the league historian.
(Dispensing with a call for a second to this motion.)
All in favor?

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.
