SAC's Summer Softball Team To Be Off The Hook This Season
Last night's annual Robin Hood dinner at the Javits Center was a relatively subdued event, compared to years past. No more bidding wars over Jonas Brothers tickets. No more Paul Tudor Jones pledging to drop trou on stage if a certain amount of money was raised in the pursuit of ending poverty in NYC. Instead, guests were asked to make anonymous, non-showy contributions to the cause (though somehow word of George Soros's $50 million donation got out). Nevertheless, the night was a win for the charity, which scored a nice chunk of change, and one hedge fund in particular. Obviously, we're talking about SAC.*
Despite being in possession of a box at Citi Field (apparently purchased for use by the big guy's father in law--who is a huge fan--and worthy employees), it seems our favorite Stamford-based girlies are forging ties with the other New York team, in the name of business. Reggie Jackson sat at the firm's table, as its guest (of honor). Right next to the BG, who obviously made the case that "SAC could use a guy like you, Mr. October." League rules being hard to get around, he'll have to be made an official employee before the first pitch, but surely some desk space can be found.
In related news, Lenny Dykstra was seated Ken Griffin-adjacent. Good luck to all.
*Whose founder, if our lip reading skills are up to snuff, pledged $5 million.
