Thank goodness the kid never heard of "tails never fails."

Ah, ok. For a second, I thought the kid suggested calling that weird kid from Iowa for advice.

September 30, 200817 yr nope the team with the better record at the time of the coin flip gets to call it. and as of 2 weeks ago we had a better record.
September 30, 200817 yr What kind of an organization is this? We let the most important decision of the year come from a 5 year old? Maybe he has flipped a thousand coins in his young lifetime, but never under this kind of pressure. What kind of assurances did we have that he was going to be correct with 'heads'? NONE. He got lucky!! I'm sure Phil Luckett could have been had to make this call. Yeah, he would have cost the team some money, but we could have guaranteed we got the toss right. Once again this organization took the cheap route by leaving such a crucial decision in the hands of young Jake. What's next coloring on the concourse? Petting zoo in the bullpen bar? We need new management.
