Stadium Funding–Always A Great Investment!
By In the light of Pat Gillick being sold several acres of North Dakota oceanfront property by Brian Cashman, Joe Sheehan asks a good question:
How’s that taxpayer-funded ballpark working out for you, Philadelphia?
Yeah, I’m guessing when the taxpayers of Philadelphia were being bilked for the new stadium, “next year we’ll look to trade our star RF and decent innings-eater for the first decent offer, and when we don’t get a decent offer we’ll just go ahead and give them to the &*%&@ Yankees for a 2-for-1 Sausage McMuffin coupon” wasn’t a major selling point. (And if Phillies fans are expecting that money to be put back into the team, I would suggest examining Gillick’s recent history in greater detail.) Those small-market Phillies in their dilapidated park just can’t compete!
I also have no idea what the Tigers were doing, although I suppose it’s harmless, and they’re in good shape anyway.
