Players want to make money and they want to win. There are no Tommy Lasordas who want to live and die in Dodger blue. None that I know of. Maybe John Elway. Even players who are born or played HS or college in the state of WI do not put aside their future just to be a Packer. I recall in baseball over 50 years ago the great Ron Santo was at the end of his career but thought he had a season or so left. His contract was approval only trade. He did not want to leave Chicago because his life and family and business interests had be come entrenched there the last 15 years. The Cubs wanted to go in a different direction. So Ron said, " If you want to trade me, trade me to the White Sox on the South Side. " They did and Ron finished his career in the same city.</blockquote>
