As the Philly GM, I have to say that I think Ruth made a wise choice accepting less money to play for me.

Ruth felt he belonged in Philly, in no small part to our fans, who are generally knows as the most polite fans in sports. Philadelphia fans are known for their kind words, and really propping up an athlete who is struggling, and Ruth wanted that family attitude in the city he picked to play for.

Unfortunatly with the Cardinals marking him, I at least get a free 2nd round pick out of the deal, even though I won't get Ruth's services in the City of Brotherly Love, that was not ment to be, and St Louis will end up with his services, for more than my entire team payroll....
