Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Tuesday night about 30 members of the Sox traveling party had dinner at Morton's in Cleveland, and Everett picked up the tab. You gotta figure at the very least that's a hundred bucks a person. I know he gets paid a lot, but try to get that kind of money out of Pippen's pocket. Kudos, Carl.

southsider2k5 Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 In case there was any lingering doubt because of those bastards in Boston, Carl Everett is one cool dude. He was by far the coolest guy at the fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 60 dollar steaks 15 dollar sides being thats Morton's is al la carte, plus drinks. Thats a nice 3-4 grand tab. Just a small piece of his salary, probably just took it out of his hooker budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabroni Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 http://www.suntimes.com/output/sox/cst-spt-doug14.html GET A LOAN: Everett can't be accused of being selfish. The designated hitter picked up the tab at the team dinner on Tuesday's day off, and it wasn't just an ordinary tab. One estimate had as many as 30 members of the Sox traveling party dining in a private room at pricey Morton's Steakhouse. I Crazy Carl.

Punch and Judy Garland Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 That's bulls*** to dismiss it as a trivial act. I'm not saying they aren't wealthy but people always forget to add in several factors. One is that their salary is pre tax. Carl doesn't make 4 million a year, he makes less by a significant percentage. Two, is the expense of life on the road. Clothes and food etc, surely gets very expensive. That's not to mention having to buy suits and food for younger players who make nothing. Lastly, every time they step into a bar or restaurant they are being judged on the tip. I forgot to mention that their career lifespan ends thrity years before yours and mine. I'm not saying that Carl can't afford to pick up the tab, but to minimize it is ingorant and wrong.
