Stan Ross is the franchise player of the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team. After recording his 3,000th hit (baseball), the selfish, narcissistic Ross immediately retires, leaving the team without one of its star players in the middle of the 1995 Milwaukee Brewers season Playoffs#Major League Baseball race, showing every bit of disregard for his teammates' feelings. During the next nine years, Ross uses his nickname as a business tool, owning several profitable properties under the name "Mr. 3000" that make him increasingly wealthy.
