Has anyone noticed that when Barry Bonds was famous for stealing bases and being really fast, he was on the Pittsburgh Pirates, then later when he got famous for taking steroids he was on the San Francisco Giants (SF also being famous for pirating things) where he played at Candlestick Park?
His name is Bury Bonds.
Seems comms potential. Did they move bonds from the Pittsburgh Fed to the SF Fed in order to hide them?
On second thought, forget “potential”, he faced off against Mark McGuire. Mark Son of Guire. Guire means Dun Colored. What’s Dun?
The word "dun" originates from Old English "dunn," meaning "dark-colored" or "brownish-gray." It is also related to the Middle English term for making persistent demands for payment, possibly linked to a historical figure known for collecting debts.
Then, a figure known for collecting debts was competing with a man who was trying to bury bonds to see who could run home more after stealing Bases, St. Louis or San Francisco?
What is a financial base?
A financial base is the technical interest rate and other financial assumptions used for calculating the premium and other mathematical provisions. Central Banks use the base rate to encourage or discourage spending.
Was someone was demanding payment on debts, but they preferred to bury them, and not only bury them, but to juice the amount outstanding to astronomical numbers to keep the demanded bonds hidden? Mark played for St. Louis, another Federal Reserve Branch city.
When a bond is delivered for regulatory review, it is marked.
Does anyone remember Mark’s neck suddenly dissolving after he retired?
Approximately 0% surprised if the Marked Up % was equal to the inflation rate or home runs or some total during the Juiced era.
Where is Juice made, Florida? In the Miami Branch of the Atlanta Fed, perhaps?
Didn’t all this happen just before the tech bubble?
Some more sports trivia for you.
Mark McGuire debuted with the Oakland A's in 1987, the year after Barry Bonds made his debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates. 1987 is also 7 years after the last year of the Pirate which is when Pittsburgh last won the World Series. This was also the start of unequaled dominance in sports for the bay area as both the San Francisco Giants (87 and 89) and Oakland A's with their base stealer Rickey Henderson and the Bash Brothers (with Jose Canseco and Mark McGuire) (88-90, 92) made at least a league championship appearance. The highlight was the 1989 World Series won by the A's with game 3 postponed 10 days by an earthquake. The A's made three World Series with losses in 1988 to the LA Dodgers and to the Cincinnati Reds in 1990.
At the same time, the San Francisco 49ers would be in the midst of making at least a playoff appearance in 18 years out of 22 years. This included 10 appearances in the NFC Championship game and 5 Super Bowl victories.
More recently, the Golden State Warriors have taken up the mantel. This started with the 2012-13 NBA season where they made the playoffs following a drought of 18 out of 19 years out of the playoffs. Including the 2012-13 season, they would make the playoffs the next 10 out of 12 years with six NBA Finals Appearances winning four. Of note, is the 2016 NBA Finals which they lost to Cleveland in 7 games. That game was full of drama as the Warriors lost their best defender Dramont Green for the last three games of the series.
