Not Quite Marriage

Pretty ballBetween baseball players and their agents.  The only form of commitment that binds a player to a Sports Agent is an “agent authorization form,” which is completed once a year by each player, but can be discarded at any time during the year.  Any player can decide to have a different agent representing him/her for a different one of each 7 days in a week.
