Bonderman also remembered reading, before agreeing with Oakland, that the reason the deal was stalled was that owner Steve Schott was quoted as saying he "didn't want to give $1.5 million to someone who can't read or write."

 

Remember, Bonderman is dyslexic. I was glad to hear that his first major league win was against those damn A's. Rock on, Jeremy!

When people's brains reverse letters and such...

its a learning disability...your brain reverses and scrambles the letters when you read..making it difficult to almost impossible to read depending o nthe severity..common things like seeing an "E" as a "3"...or flip flopping letters....your brain just doesnt process what the eyes see correctly

Most dyslexics can learn to read. The unfortunate thing is that for years most "learned" people had no clue about this learning disability, resulting in the labeling of many otherwise intelligent people as "retarded" and such.

Wasn't there a d-lineman for the Broncos....I'm thinking Neil Smith or someone like that....who was dyslexic...and he wrote a book or something?

 

That's pretty incredible to be dyslexic and to write a book.

 

And Steve Schott's an asshole. That's all I gotta say.

Actually Dyslexia is a chemical misbalance that causes short-term memory loss. The whole "E" as a "3" thing is a myth. Dyslexics see a "E" as an "E" they just aren't able to store the info on a short-term basis causing them to forget what they've learned.

JB will be a good pitcher down the line, i wish him well .

It is a sad state of affairs in this day and age where someone can think that way, and still be in a powerful position in an organization. That is a blackeye for the whole organization IMO.

Some information on dyslexia. I have been researching this recently because my graduate professor feel that I may have dyslexia or some other learning disability.
