...bright, intelligent young man and an excellent playmaker," the 1970 Marshall football program said of the junior quarterback. Indeed, Shoebridge set 18 passing records at Marshall, and his stats compared favorably with other star college quarterbacks at the time--Terry Bradshaw, Joe Theisman, Jim Plunkett, Dan Pastorini. His path seemed headed...
...home to the Bay Area two seasons earlier, a reclamation project partially sentimental. Plunkett describes the sensation as "carrying the weight of the world," and says, "I thought about quitting."

But like Dante Pastorini's old Houston Oiler contract forbidding him to race speedboats, or the clause in many baseball pacts prohibiting skiing or snowmobiling, the Blue Jays are simply protecting their investment in a valuable commodity-an investment they made in good faith when Ainge was still on college...
