testimony of a class act

[DavidRis]

I wanted to give some props to JVP224 (Jim Purdosky),

He sent me a trade offer for my best pitcher, Peavy, for a slugger of which I already was overloaded and the last thing I needed. I never would have accepted this trade. But somehow, I accidently hit "accept trade!" and it was done! Peavy was gone. Well, I freaked out right away and sent him a few messages begging to reverse the trade, explaing that it was indeed an accident and that I never meant to accept. I begged this guy to do the right thing.

Now we all know how this could have gone with other managers, some would have said " yeh, yeh...you made the trade and are just having sellers remorse, it's a game, deal with it." But what did this guy do? As soon as he read my messages, he reversed the trade without saying a word!

So I was again want to say thank you JVP224, Jim, you are a class act, and I want your SOM community to know it.

How bout some props for this classy move by a fellow Som manager!!

Punchy
:D

That's pretty great, especially with this whole other discussion about collusion. I believe that the majority of SOM guys are noble and would hope that the same thing would happen again as long as the person making the mistake responds right away and clearly explains what happened.

Knowing the kind of guy he probably is, his reaction to this thread would probably be..."Why are you praising me for [i:aa24b721c2]not[/i:aa24b721c2] robbing a bank?"

We need more people like that.

...and more posts like this as well.

The boards tend to be like the news, and you only hear the bad. Good to hear someone trumpeting praises for someone doing the right thing.

I happen to be in that league, and what that manager did was a classy act indeed! And not only that, but the manager that is calling attention to the manager who did the right thing, is classy himself for admitted his mistake, and giving due credit to the one who let him take it back.

Maybe I'm naive, but I think most of us would do the same thing.

Kudos.
