The million dollar arm - update

Turns out the Million Dollar Arm kids didn't disappear into obscurity
like I'd imagined they would. They ended up signing with the
Pittsburgh Pirates.

A few notes -

a) When I saw the headline, "Pirates sign two..." I immediately
assumed the story was something to do with the Somali pirates.

b) The URL for the story as you can see says "Pirates.Indians". Now in
case you don't know, there's a team called the Cleveland Indians. So
one could be tempted to think the story was about a trade between the
Pirates and the Indians.

c) Can't wait for these kids to be traded one day to Cleveland so we
can have the Indian Indians. Dots meet feathers. The Universe with
explode.
