...Which goes to show that salary is not an indicator of intelligence. (I probably deserve the Understatement of the Month award for that, don't I?)

Well, that ends his hopes that he will ever get into the Hall of Fame.

In the kinds of stores he shops at, $60 worth is probably a half a shirt.

I remember watching the first game he ever pitched in the majors, and there were camera shots of his family in the stands. At the end of one inning, they cut to a shot of them, with Dad getting out of his seat and heading up the aisle. I was waiting for the commentator to say "There goes Dad, living up to his name."

Is "klepto" a synonym for "lowlife?"

That's the most plausible reason. $60 worth of T-shirts at Macy's? Shoot, if I were shoplifting, I'd aim much higher than that ...
