I love odd news- I love odd sports news even more.  

This pitcher, John Odom got traded to the the Laredo Broncos for 10 Prairie Sticks Maple Bats.  How would like to be that guy?  

From getting drafted by the San Franciso Giants to being traded for 10 bats.  This is not the oddest trade I have read.  I actually read once that a player in the Northern league was traded for 60 cases of Budweiser beer.
