All good points about Maroitti and Cuban. However, he is correct in regard to “Uncle Bud” and his other faternity brothers not wanting someone in their “Circle of Trust” that would shake things up. I’ll give the new owners a chance since I know nothing about him/them but it would have been cool to have a Cubs owner with “Cub” in his name

In all fairness to Cuban. The W. Bush Admin SEC filed charges on him after he bankrolled a few projects to piss the administration off.

Including the documentary “Enron: The smartest guys in the room” which basicly connected the dots between the scam artist in the company and the Bush Administration turing a blind eye to the biggest donors for their 2000 campaign.

And oh he hired Dan Rather after the radical right had him drummed off of CBS.

Those are off the top of my head. I’m sure Mark did plenty more to upset them.

And well the former White House loved to get even with critics.

To put it in Internets terms, Former Baseball Fan #1 was like a vengeful troll.

I suspect the issue was more that the White Sox did not want to be the MEts of Chi-town. They want a owner group that would have the Cubs and White Sox on Par. Cuban would have been the Cub Steinbrenner.
