Here’s a memorable story from the offseason, though the player and general manager involved will remain nameless.
The player was wrapping up his honeymoon on St. Lucia, and readying to head back to the States, when volcanic eruptions began on the island. Quickly, those there were warned that much bigger eruptions could come, and to take all precautions to stay safe. One problem: All outgoing flights were grounded, the island’s airspace was closed and pretty much the only way to leave would be if you had your own boat.
Soon thereafter, the GM was apprised of the situation.
