Pohlad HAS $2.2 billion. What he's WORTH is another matter. Forbes mag just published the 2003 WORLD billionaire figures. I recall that Pohlad is the 197th richest man in the world. I think it is important for us to help our buddy Carl to come closer to number 1. Given his age, we don't have much time. I suggest we all tithe (that's 10%) our salaries to HELP CARL TO THE TOP!! Think how our local PRIDE will swell if one of our HOME-TOWN BOYS makes it into that great TOP BILLIONAIRE TEAM!! Yea! Go Carl! What we peons do with our measly bucks is important. We could waste it on food and rent and health &tc, or we could (TA-DA!) GIVE IT TO CARL to invest in yachts racehorses chorus girls and caviar! By golly, everyone, let's hear it for Carl! --David Shove Roseville If a stadium costs $535 million, > he'll have $1.665 billion left over.
