News Item: Pat Burrell signs with Rays
Pat Burrell today signed with Tampa Bay for two years and $16 million, which actually represents a pay cut for the slugger, who made $13 million last year.
Pat, as most star Philly athletes do, had a checkered record in town, having a couple of great years, as well as a couple of bad ones, but his tenure ended as well as it possibly could have, with a ring.
Burrell also, I believe, was near the top of the getting-laid-the-most-by-a-Philly-athlete leader board, though I have no way of documenting that as a journalist, and he almost certainly ranks below Wilt Chamberlain.
