"I have the ultimate respect for Whitesox fans. They were as miserable as the Cubs and Redsox fans ever were but always had the good decency to keep it to themselves. And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country."--Jim Caple, ESPN (Jan. 12, 2011)Comment

Personally, I'd like to be a major share of a AAA team. And that would "only" take a few million. If it's good enough for Warren Buffet, then it's good enough for me."Chuckie doesn't take on 2-0. Chuckie's hackin'." - Chuck Carr two days prior to being released by the Milwaukee BrewersComment

I would buy the entire National League and have every team wear uniforms circa 1977. And any fan that didn't like these uniforms or whined about them would be banned permanently from all National League ballparks.

Unfortunately, you only have umteen 0s to work with so you might come up a few 00s short for the whole NL.Originally posted by Honus Wagner Rules View PostI would buy the entire National League and have every team wear uniforms circa 1977.

The up and coming Nationals. I would exploit their bright future and turn the entire Virginia, WV, Carolina, and Maryland area into National fanatics.
Or the Red Sox. What would I change? Everything bad.

Well the OP did say "gazillion dollars" which I think is more than enough to buy the entire National League. But, I'll play your game. I'd buy the S.F. Giants and EVERY home game would be a "Turn Back the Clock 1970's" theme.Originally posted by Ben Grimm View Post
