Pennies from heaven
Pitcher Josh Fogg arrived at his locker Wednesday to find it stacked with 60 boxes of pennies, 2,500 pennies to a box. He immediately looked at Griffey and said, "That's good, Griff, real funny. Kick me when I'm down."
Griffey warned him but Fogg didn't believe it when Griffey said he was going to pay off a $1,500 debt in pennies.
"I'm a man of my word," said Griffey. "When you owe a man $1,500, you pay him. You can't do a whole lot with pennies, can you? Just think, each box weighs 16 pounds so Fogg has 60 bowling balls in his locker."
Said Fogg, "I'm going to take them to bullpen and count them because I have a lot time on my hands."

[h2]150,000 pennies for your thoughts[/h2]

You've heard of Three Coins in a Fountain, right? How about 150,000 pennies in a locker?
That's what Josh Fogg found in his locker when he came to work in the Cincinnati Reds clubhouse Wednesday. There were 60 boxes of pennies, $25 worth to a box, stacked in his locker - top to bottom like cereal boxes in Kroger's.
Fogg immediately looked at Ken Griffey Jr. and said, "That's good, Griff. That's funny. Kick me while I'm down."
Griffey had told Fogg he was going to pay off the $1,500 he owed him in pennies, but Fogg didn't believe it.
"I'm a man of my word," said Griffey. "And when you owe a man $1,500, you pay him. And I'd like to thank the lovely people at National City Bank for helping me with this joke. There isn't a whole lot you can do with pennies. Just think, each box weighs 16 pounds, so the man has 60 bowling balls in his locker."
Fogg was mystified and mesmerized and finally said, "I'm going to take them out to the bullpen and count them. I have a lot of time on my hands out there. I'm sure these were delivered by Brinks truck and Griffey had his paycheck in there, too."
