↵↵I’d probably say in my heart of hearts it would have to be the Pittsburgh Pirates. Not from a business standpoint, that wouldn’t be the best business move, but it just kills me that the team that I grew up with has sucked so bad for so long.

One day, in addition to their beautiful ballpark and perpetually rich crop of prospects—that they’ll someday trade—they may just wind up with the coolest owner in sports.
