Imagine you're a successful baseball player and just spent nearly 8 million dollars on an incredibly rare Chinese chair dating back to the Ming Dynasty.
Your friend and fellow MLB player Rowdy Tellez comes over and asks to sit in it. What do you tell him? Keep in mind that he weighs 270 pounds.

According to baseball ref, Rowdy's only made $12 million in his career, which means he likely couldn't afford to pay back the full cash value of the chair if he were successfully sued. He'd have to liquify all of his assets and have his salary garnished for the rest of his career. He probably won't even land another major league contract, which means his MLB pension will be garnished. Assuming he's married, his wife would probably cheat on him and divorce him as well.
