BR.com sponsorships

I'm sure that a lot of you make good use of the Baseball Reference web site, and that you're aware you can support the site by sponsoring player pages.  Pay a bit of coin and you can leave pretty much any message/URL you want.  Some of the sponsorships are pretty amusing to boot (sadly, Dwight Gooden's Cat no longer sponsors Kevin Mitchell's page).

So, I thought it might be a hoot to sponsor the pages of some infamous ex-Giants, and leave McCC as the URL.  I got the ball rolling with that legendary Giants outfielder:

Marvin Benard

For $10 (sponsorships last for one year) you can mock:

Damon Minor
Cody Ransom
J.R. Phillips
Alex Sanchez
Johnnie LeMaster
Matt Herges

You can have this guy for $15:

Felix Rodriguez

$20 will get you:

Ricky Ledee

Fork out $30 and you can sponsor one of our all time favorites:

Jose Cruz Jr.

Why he's worth $35 I'll never know:

Edgardo Alfonzo

Really feeling generous?  For a cool $50 you can sponsor:

Dusty Baker

And yes, Benitez and Pierzynski are already sponsored.

You just need to register an account and then fund it with PayPal or Amazon payments.  You can help keep a kickass baseball site in operation, take a swipe at some Giant whipping boys, and plug the Chronicles at the same time.  A win-win-win situation.

Edgardo's OPS+ last year was -6. This amuses me.

If I had an income, I would totally sponsor my boy.

Re: BR.com sponsorships
I used to have Marvin Bernard and Kirk Rueter. I suppose Rueter's could have been funnier. Or funny at all.

Waiting for Comic Relief
In those formative years, the VP of WFB PR was a humorless man.

A power struggle ensued, and Grant gave that guy the Boot de Boof.

Re: BR.com sponsorships
On a side note, I just sponsored Kevin Rogers.

Best $5 I've spent.
