English football meets MLB: The rise of ‘pillow contracts’

“The pillow is for a restful sleep and not designed for extended periods,” Scott Boras tells The Athletics.

One of the most powerful sports agents in the world, the former baseball player turned leading talent broker is also an inventor.

Be it the chants to pump up their team or even try to wind up the opposition or the use of props like flares and smoke, supporters try to make their stadiums as daunting as possible for the visiting opposition.
