Mc...It may be galling, but hardly incomprehensible. McCourt played the bankruptcy court like a master, dealing the commissioner almost completely out of the transaction. It's now a free-for-all auction, not about the "best interests of the baseball," but the best interests of Frank McCourt. The real question for MLB's future is why any owner looking to sell a franchise would not declare bankruptcy.Mitch Stonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849683632926792542.post-47733695896557369522011-01-13T14:31:37.606-08:002011-01-13T14:31:37.606-08:00Mr. Newhan -

If that is the case in the years 1989, 1990 and 1991, did you vote for Gaylord Perry? Mr. Perry admits (and has wrote books) about cheating his way to two Cy Young Awards, over 300 victories and over 3,000 strikeouts. Why is his cheating and breaking of the rules tolerated, while those of McGwire, Sosa, Clemens and Bonds not?<br /><br />Yours truly,<br /><br />Ed Sugar<br />edsugar@ca.rr.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849683632926792542.post-42738979349384967702010-05-04T20:07:39.788-07:002010-05-04T20:07:39.788-07:00Hey David, I dont know you or Dave Roberts persona...Hey David, I dont know you or Dave Roberts personally, but my children had your sister Sara for their teacher. I love the game of baseball and played as a kid but didnt go anywhere in the sport-so now Im just a big fan. I am a police officer and awhile back I was diagnosed with Hodgkins-stage 2. I was 38 and devastated. But, I wanted to stay as normal as I could and I worked patrol through most of the chemo treatments and the radiation (and trust me it sucked). There is something about trying to stay in the normal routine that makes it seem better. If there is anything I can do for you or Dave (even if its just to say a little prayer) let me know. You can reach me through Sara,<br /><br />Dave Richards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849683632926792542.post-26852463545920000432010-05-04T15:13:23.279-07:002010-05-04T15:13:23.279-07:00Fabulous article.
