Interesting column in The New York Times today by Doug Glanville, recalling his trade from the Texas Rangers to the Chicago Cubs in 2003. Glanville mentions the emotional element of the event, but also the practical logistics:
I had my moving plan: I would pack as much as I could possibly carry on the flight to Chicago, then clear out my apartment and jam everything I could into my car. Then, on the Cubs next trip to Houston, I would catch a plane to Dallas, meet up with an auto shipping company and have my car shipped to Chicago. Amazingly, it all went off without a glitch.
I assume he was single at the time.
