We had the O’Malley ownership. We had the Fox ownership. We had the McCourt ownership.
What do we have now? The Magic ownership? The Guggenheim gang? Those crazy guys with money to burn?

Walter ownership. The LA Times interview indicated he personally has 100% of the voting shares and is the only General Partner. All other limited partners will have no voting shares, it seems.
Jon Weisman
I think that refers to his position representing Guggenheim, not his position with the overall baseball partnership. I don’t think it’s accurate Magic and Guber don’t have minority voting shares. I could be wrong, but that’s my understanding.
Jack Dawkins
Reading the article….I think he is basically Steinbrenner or Al Davis, the general managing partner. The rest are all along for the ride. So Walter ownership seems correct to me.

In the article, he refers to wanting to own the franchise for many years, envisioning it being passed to his daughter and granddaughter. To me, that indicates his personal ownership, not as a figurehead for Guggenheim, which is presumably an investor/limited partner.
Jack Dawkins
So Walter and the figurehead?
Is Walter then the puppetmaster? The man behind the curtain? He Who Must Be Obeyed?

I suspect that people will come to know this as the “Magic ownership,” although it would be more accurate to call it the Guggenheim ownership. And this is appropriate, since perhaps Guggenheim partners wanted Magic Johnson only to make the purchase palatable and celebrated in Los Angeles.

I second this. Reference to Magic Johnson and a reflection on the magical sensation of freedom every dodger fan felt upon hearing that the team was finally sold… and to the popular team.

Someone’s got to come up with something Magic oriented I suppose.
On another subject, Slappy McPopup just did it again. For the Fightins. AND got on base!

He made the team today. Funny enough, they were choosing between him and Podsednik and both of them had better springs than Lance Nix who signed a 2 year deal and was gently being pushed on fans as the next Jayson Werth. I’m in Philly and inundated with Phils coverage, but I think this is the beginning of the end of their reign. Maybe they make the playoffs this year, but I’m not sure that Utley and Howard will contribute much this season as injured as they are.

Since the Dodgers press release already titled the ownership group as being lead by Magic Johnson, I don’t know if anyone else is going to get their name above the title as it were.

Guggenheim.
Guggenheim partners owns it as Guggenheim Baseball Management.
Johnson invested in it is all.
If Walter left Guggenheim partners (he is CEO) someone else would take over — so it isn’t Walter per se.
Given what will happen in the development to come it could be called McCourt/Guggenheim.

A comment with respect to the last post:
I am disappointed Chin-Lung Hu never quite cut it with the Dodgers, Mets or any team. I think he would have been great for the game. I am curious as to why he failed his physical or what ailment he may be hiding.
Anonymous
Hu had/has vision problems, it’s too bad, the guy had soft hands nice range & he could make a double play look beautiful.

Hopefully we just call them the winners

The group that owns the Dodgers is called the Guggheim Baseball Management group or GBM, Magic is a part owner, but not sure exactly what percentage he owns.
Adam Luther
With regards to Frank McCourt’s letter to the employees (referencing “four titles in eight years”) summarizing the organizational successes during his tenure), there used to be a time when it came to the Dodgers that “title” meant WORLD SERIES CHAMPION, not water downed division and wild card title malarkey.
The Dodgers are not the Astros. Magic won NBA TITLES. Leave the champagne on ice until we get magical #7.

How about “The Dodgers”?
(I hope.)

If we see this statue in front of Dodger Stadium, that will confirm that the team is owned by the Guggenheims: http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQo3QrD6-hsmwyUjXC96vHAgf0F4usI7MCKrMEP7QN2p38VgcCuL6chE2Y4
