[USML Announce] Backstory of Klein-Nukes Deal: Now It Can Be Told

[Brad Jansen]

Just a footnote for League historians and those who track Klein's
legislative initiatives: the key to his Nukes deal, of course, is Elijah
Dukes.  Let's recall how Andy acquired Dukes: in an off-season deal with the
Riptorns, who traded then-minor leaguer  Dukes  with fellow  minor leaguers
Ryan Sweeney and Chris Lubanski  to the K-9  for Lyle Overbay and  Ramon
Hernandez,  a deal that would have been prohibited  by the very rule Andy
proposed  just a few weeks after that trade.  So, you see, you sometimes can
get what you want.  Well, at least Andy does.   Dotel it on the
Mountain...sing with me, please!!
