Olerud Sluggers?

It's not over til it's over, and the pine tree is outtahere!

Bruce and Linda Baker’s Chinese pine was cut down to improve the view from the home of retired baseball star John Olerud and his wife, but woodworker Warren Weber will create new objects from the wood.

Now that it's been determined that one can not only covet thy neighbor's view (in Clyde Hill, WA), but get it handed to you by politicians without having to pay the market value for it--conservatively estimated by the Olerud's to improve the resale value of THEIR property by over a quarter million dollars--all that's left is to decide what to do with the wood.

Well, they hit baseballs don't they?
