Jerry Reinsdorf is so bad for Chicago he should be run out of town. I’ll hoist the first pitchfork if you’ll join me. The owner of the White Sox and Bulls has robbed our town of our joy. The joy of looking forward to a new season (White Sox) or coming to the close of an exciting regular season (Bulls).
The reason is simple: Reinsdorf won’t spend the money to field decent teams. So Sell. You came here, you made tons of profit, take it and leave. Okay, I understand that today’s crop of billionaires may not be ideal owners either. But I’ll settle for a few years of winning before I turn on them.
I’m starting my baseball class again in March. We’re reading a collection of stories by the great Roger Angell. I know I’ll love the book and the discussion, but I would so like to be able to add an exciting trip to the park.
As a longtime Sox fan, now former fan I find it insulting to the fans to offer a minor league squad with no hope of success year after year. And then expect city of Chicago to build him a new palace so he and his heirs can add more to their fortune. That is why I am boycotting the team.
ReplyDeleteJoan you can enjoy an afternoon at the ballpark this spring with your teammates, albeit at Wrigley Field!
