Pitcher Traded for Maple Bats

We've all heard of some far-out independent baseball league trades either as publicity stunts or simple jokes. Earlier today, one such trade was completed as a necessity rather than a gag.

The Golden Baseball League's Calgary Vipers were unable to get newly signed pitcher John Odom into Canada for immigration reasons. So they responded like any logical team would and traded him to the United League's Laredo Broncos in exchange for 10 sorely needed Prairie Sticks Maple Bats.

Check out the story from the Associated Press.
