D-Case of the Week, June Wk3: Frank and Jamie McCourt, AND Vuvuzelas

This week there was a tie between Frank and Jamie McCourt and Vuvuzelas...

It's really hard to summarize this insanity, you really need to read the whole articles....they're rather hilarious. Here's a quick summary though: "According to Bill Shaikin of the LA Times, the McCourts paid Vladimir Shpunt several hundred thousand dollars over five years to apply his "V energy" and help the Dodgers to victory. Between 2004, the first season under the McCourts' ownership, and 2009, Shpunt was retained for Dodgers matches, despite the fact that he knew little about baseball. He would channel positive vibes towards the players as he sat in Boston, some 3,000 miles from LA. By watching the game on television, he could get instant feedback on how his energy was affecting performance."
