I am an optimist–trust, but verify.
———–
If any person, anywhere, ever, buys a professional sports franchise, and wants
to make sure that the first things that they said were right, in every way, they
should simply read what Magic Johnson, Stan Kasten, and Mark Walter said after
it was announced that they had won the bid to become the new owners of the Los
Angeles Dodgers.And then repeat it.Verbatim.
