When asked by a reporter what motivated him to leave, he responded "[Frank] Hough offered me $24,000 ($682,656 in current dollar terms) for four years. You can bet I signed in a hurry!" As a result, the Phillies filed a lawsuit to the <a href="/wiki/Pennsylvania_Supreme_Court" class="mw-redirect" title="Pennsylvania Supreme Court">Pennsylvania Supreme Court</a> banning Lajoie from playing for any professional team. However, the decree only applied to teams in Pennsylvania, so Lajoie signed with the Cleveland Bronchos.
