Is Your Team's Owner a Major League Asshole? | Mother Jones:

I’m fairly happy with our ownership, but some of the others are pretty shitty.

Minnesota Twins: Jim Pohlad, a Minneapolis banker, hasn’t had much time to prove himself after inheriting the franchise from his late father, Carl—who was infamous for volunteering to kill off the team in exchange for $150 million from Major League Baseball. That is, until Hennepin County ponied up $350 million for a new stadium. In 2012, the Pohlad clan doled out $644,000 to political causes and candidates, almost all of it to Democrats.

Want to say something “in your face?!” choose Impact and piss everyone off. Impact is loud, crude, and overused. It’s like those polite Lutherans in Minnesota won’t say it to your face, so they write it in the church newsletter in Impact. (via American League logos infused with putrid fonts - Bless You Boys)

BOB CLANTON (manager, North Mission Viejo Skylarks Little League team): [Nick Punto] was our best player, by a country mile. But whenever he put a ball in play and the throw went to first, he slid. Headfirst, every time. He’d just yell “GET MONEY” and slide.

JEFF ALVIN (teammate, North Mission Viejo Skylarks): every time. If he was safe, “GET PAID!”

CLANTON: we’d pull him aside and say, “Nick, you gotta run through the bag. Sliding slows you down and you’re gonna hurt yourself one of these days.” He’d just say, “Yeah, coach, got it, c’mon let’s gooooo!” Then he’d do it again anyway.

Photo day, Metropolitan Stadium 1962. My Aunt digitized these old slides and gave some framed prints to my Mom for Christmas. My Grandpa was likely the photographer. My mom, 12 years old, is visible in the Athletics’ dugout on the left, and that’s my Grandma in the blue dress.
