OT: Long time Yankee PA announcer calls it quits
At 99 years old, Bob Sheppard says he has no plans of returning. It's hard to believe he did it for so long.

Sammy Sosa sued for $203,000
Among other things, the man claims he's owed a $43,000 commission on a watch -- I wonder if it keeps good time?

The McCourt divorce costs
Jamie McCourt alone will pay $2 million to her lawyers. I can't see how either one of them can avoid having to sell the team if their combined asset value has to be split in two.
I've always disliked Frank McCourt -- shortly after buying the Dodgers, he upped parking 50% and promised it would pay for a re-vamped parking system -- It was an ABSOLUTE disaster that created up to 2 hour lines getting in AND out of the parking lot.. His concession prices are a joke, and ticket service fees seem excessive. Most Dodger fans I talk to wouldn't mind seing him go.
Might there be a Fire sale on the horizon?

World Series Rings
Check out all MLB Championship rings going back to 1922. MOST of the rings given to the team that lost are shown when you click on each ring (1945 Cubs not shown) .
IMO, the 2004 Red Sox got the coolest ring -- There are a few bad ones too.
Also, there are links toward the bottom of the page that show cool pictures of MLB ballparks -- both past and present.

Frank McCourt has fired his wife as CEO. San Diego Padres part 2?

Gatorade machine is DONE
Well, that thing didn't last too long. The Cubs are returning to the historical way of dispensing drinks.

Cubs sale complicated by TV contracts
Yet another hurdle in the ongoing Cubs' sale. This time it's the value of TV broadcasting rights. Ricketts may ask for concessions or a reduction of $40 to $50 million in the sale price.

New Yankee Stadium serving up cheap HR's???
It looks as though someone may have over-looked a wind study at the Yankees new $1.5 billion palace.
This is kinda funny, especially after reading here on BCB a week or so ago, that workers had over-looked a net blocking YES cameras.
Also, at the end of this game recap, it says there were long stretches of empty chairs in the "Legend Suite" seats which cost between $500 and $2,625 per game -- AND -- The Yankees still have not recorded an attendance north of 50,000 -- I LOVE IT!!!
