Yeah, so just to put this in perspective, this is in 2000, so these dollars are very different than dollars today.

But still, we're talking about a lot of money being on the table, and we're talking about somebody who doesn't have a college education, doesn't have a terrific alternative career outside of baseball, who's being offered around $5 million in a variety of different forms depending on the number of years that Matt Harrington would sign for.

And Tommy Tanzer, the agent, pushes the Harringtons to be patient and wait for more. Unfortunately, the Colorado Rockies, the baseball team, wants Harrington, but not at the price level that Tanzer and Harrington are demanding. And basically, no deal is created.

So we have a very similar kind of phenomena here in terms of Harrington being disappointed that his market value has fallen so dramatically. So we can easily imagine that there is an anchor set by the prior year and Harrington's hoping for something in the range of at least what he passed on the year before. But during the year, he has not shown his potential. And his value has fallen.

And basically, with over a million dollars on the table, and again, this is in year 2000 or 2001, he basically passes on the opportunity holding off for more. And he continues to not be able to pursue playing baseball at the level of the major leagues. And as a result, his value goes down and down and down over time. And

And Harrington never gets the opportunity to be a Major League Baseball player, perhaps because Tanzer and Harrington and then the following year, Harrington and his new agent are basically overconfident that they can obtain an amount that wasn't – in the first place.
