Yesterday morning Red Sox general manager offered the store manager at a local best buy $51,111 to cut the long line so he could get the nice PS3. The Theo Epstein went on to pay $5000 for the system!

“Clearly I believe PS3 has really fine features and graphics and it would be a great fit in my living room,” said Epstein, who wouldn’t disclose the amount paid. “I’m excited to move on to the next step of the process and read the manual.” — 11.17.06, Theo Epstein, Chronic Overspender
