On the 12th of February 2000, Ken Griffey Jr. (formerly of the Seattle Mariners), signed a nine-year $116.5 million contract with his hometown Cincinnati Reds.

I believe that if one were to make an example matrix the box for cooperate/cooperate would equate to a win-win scenario for both groups of squirrels while in the defect/defect box it would be a lose-lose situation.
