Glenn Braggs available for team building exercises, heavy lifting, fashion advice, Tommy Lasorda’s gaze
Mayhap your team needs to lighten up down the stretch, have fun as a team, grow trust. Glenn Braggs & Co. can help with that. Allow him to provide a list of services.
Mayhap your team needs someone to move very, very heavy things. Glenn Braggs himself can do that. For fifty bucks!

Thanks to reader Eric B. for sharing this merry prank with us.
At RedsFest back in the 90’s I got Braggs’ autograph and shook his hand. It still hurts.
