Why Francoeur wrote Charlie Samuels a check

Via Daily News

“I wrote him a $35,000 check and he gave me cash for it and I bought a car for my mom and dad. And that’s what it was all about. That’s the whole thing,” Francoeur said. “My parents help pay our bills and stuff while we’re away during the season. I didn’t want them to see what I paid for the car.

“Then I gave him $15,000 when I left, which was for him, the cooks, the massage therapists – a tip at the end of the year.”
