It is difficult watching your team lose over & over but the true fans should back their team… problem is at least at today’s prices going to the park is not what every one can afford. And a family??? Forget about it.
Certainly an entirely different set of financial problems today. Baseball isn't fighting for financial survival but as many owners continue to use teams to print cash, the sport's cultural relevancy is in even more danger than it was back then.
Thanks Bill! I'm keeping a count of the various people who were labeled the "Barnum of Baseball" and thus far in order I have Joe Engel, Bill Veeck, Charles O. Finley, and Bill Giles. Adding Bowie's name to that list makes for a pretty obvious "one of these things is not like the other" exercise.

Bowie Kuhn was no P.T. Barnum, apparently. Good story, Paul.
