Jerry Reinsdorf and Wayne Huizenga share a common thread as the futures of their respective baseball teams shift in opposite directions. Huizenga has made a fortune in waste management. Reinsdorf has made his mark by treating his employees like garbage.

It is a decision that epitomizes honor and loyalty, words that are beyond comprehension for the gutless sports baron whose empire includes the White Sox and Bulls.
