I like the idea. Create an ownership group. I’m not sure how many people would be in for that but if we all invested the investment money wise would surely be worth it as far as ROI and to have a seat in the boardroom. Has this ever been done before for any sports franchise?

Someone might remember that this was tried previously. MLB has sole rights to approve any ownership group. They will not approve a state or large group ownership and vet individuals or small groups. This is not in the bylaws to my knowledge but has already been tried and defeated. MLB has turned down ownership from some pretty wealthy dudes because the owners did not see a path towards controlling the person. Most famously Mark Cuban was turned down. Also, MLB chose Carl Pohlad over others. That actually cost the Griffiths a little money.

the other offer reportedly came from a pussy grabber who planned to move the team to florida
