Clark named director of player relations for MLBPA
Baseball Betting Lines
03/10/2010 -
New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former MLB veteran Tony Clark has been hired
by the MLBPA as director of player relations.
A 15-year-veteran who retired during the 2009 season, Clark was a club player
representative for the Red Sox and Diamondbacks and spent his last several
seasons as an associate player representative.
"It is an honor to welcome Tony to the Association's staff," said MLBPA
executive director Michael Weiner. "Tony is as passionate about this union as
any player I've known and is highly respected throughout the game. He will
be a tremendous asset to the players' cause."
Clark, 37, was drafted by the Tigers in 1990 and made his big league debut
late in the 1995 season. He finished third in voting for rookie of the year in
1996 and was an All-Star selection in 2001. Over 1,559 career games, he batted
.262 with 251 home runs and 824 RBI.
"I am excited to begin this next chapter of my life by doing my best to ensure
that the MLBPA remains a strong and cohesive union," stated Clark. "I am
looking forward to developing relationships with all Union members, past and
present, learning about the issues important to them, and keeping them
informed and up to date on all issues related to the Basic Agreement."
Also on Wednesday, the MLBPA named Steve Fehr as special counsel. For the past
23 years he had held the role as outside counsel to the MLBPA.
In that role, he provides legal advice and support to the labor relations
efforts and also participates in the collective bargaining contracts. Also, he
takes care of government relations, including any discussions on Capitol Hill.

Stanley Cup betting
New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.

To visit this online sportsbook got to MySportsbook.com for all your hockey sportsbook needs.
It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.
As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.
Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.
Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1. In the basement are the Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, and St. Louis Blues who all have 100-1 odds to win.
