Around SBN: Please, Someone Make Bob Sapp Stop Already

Hey LSB: Let's Buy a Minority Stake in the Rangers!

I'm not a lawyer, but I know we have plenty of them here. How about we start a collective, pool up some cash and buy a stake. I've got 30k I'm looking to invest to start us off ... any takers?

Anyone have any thoughts on what a small investor or group would need to buy in at a reasonable level? Would Hick's sell to a collective of fans?

I may have had too much to drink already.

If I knew who you were, perhaps I'd try to deeply understand what you were attempting to do with that tired, overused GIF

I’ll go this far: Is it your contention that my post was a fail, or this diary?

Phew.

Thanks for going easy on me Failey.

I can’t tell you how relieved I am you didn’t snap off another immasculatingly humiliating, hyper-madcap “Fail Gif.” It especially hurts because they always say FAIL at the bottom while showing somebody failing and whatnot.

You rock, Failey.

Lets see...

Forbes had the Rangers worth about $412M last Business of Baseball report.

So lets see, 1% would be $412,000. That would mean a 1000 LSB members would have to throw in $400 to get there…

I would be game, but how do you split the perks?

by laxtonto on Mar 26, 2009 7:38 PM CDT reply actions  

1%

is actually $4.2MM. Sorry

Of course that’s about $450 since being a new hire I’ve only invested into it for a month.

I've always thought it would be interesting if some of the rich players

pooled their money to be owners of the team they play for.

MY and Kinsler could probably plunk down $10-20M, and if Hambone gets an extension, he could be good for $5M.

JD: Adamant about 78 wins in 2009. Go Rangers!

by rooster on Mar 26, 2009 10:44 PM CDT reply actions  

I think Mario Lemieux

had partial ownership while he was still playing. Of course, he was a singular athlete saving a sinking franchise. I doubt it could work otherwise.

If you have money to invest, I'd put into the blue chips- Transatlantic Zeppelin, Amalgamated Spats, Congreve's Inflammable Powder, U.S. Hay, and sink the rest into that up-and-coming Baltimore Opera Hat Company.
