it's like in fever pitch (the book or the movie), the fans care a lot more about the success of a team than the players do. as much as the riders or players love the activity/sport, their personal lives are not as wrapped around the companies as we are. damon fit perfectly on the red sox, yet he left for the yankees, same with pedro leaving for the mets. if wenning did leave, maybe it's because he felt that there was a personal investment in his career with the plan b/dc synergy.
