Donald Trump might join the Lords of Baseball? It’s in the Times, so it must be true:
Donald Trump Nominates Himself As Mets’ Savior

↵Trump said Tuesday that he called Fred Wilpon, the Mets’ principal owner, about two weeks ago to arrange a face-to-face meeting to discuss whether he is interested in buying at least a part of the club. The meeting has not yet been held, said Trump, who made it clear that he would be interested only in buying a majority stake in the team.

↵As to why he would not be interested in just a quarter of the team, Trump, referring to himself in the third person, said: "If you look at Trump’s record, he is only interested in things he can control," he said.

↵There’s no way in hell that Trump winds up controlling the Mets. Major League Baseball has no interest in famous owners who won’t take orders -- i.e. Mark Cuban -- and if the Wilpons are willing to cede majority ownership, there will be plenty of people just as rich as Trump, but quite a bit less famous, happy to toss in $500 million (or whatever).
