The crew over at The Crawfish Boxes relays a crazy idea. An idea so crazy that it just might work:

What if instead of another nameless businessman as pro sports team owner, Drayton McLane sold the Astros to a businessman with a name above all else- Mark Cuban?

[...]

Yes, I realize the chances of a) Mark Cuban being interested in buying the Astros b) the MLB establishment giving the OK on the sale, and c) a Mavericks-like success story occurring is slim. But hey, it's December 21st. A guy can dream, and so can a city. So Mark, come on down to Houston. We're not that much different than Dallas. We don't have a riverwalk (I hear you have problems with those), and the MLB/NBA seasons don't overlap all that much. Just think about it. Rest assured, Astros fans are.

Mark Cuban owning a professional baseball team creates a couple of interesting possibilities: would he sit behind the dugout and jump on it when something great happens? Heck, would he jump on the field when something great happens? And would he actually get in the face of the umpires, perhaps punching the home plate umpire in the chest protector?

No one knows the answer to those questions except Mark Cuban himself. So maybe the best thing would be for him to buy the team and we'll see what happens.

Crazy, yeah, but don't you know who we're talking about?
