Plugging the Gap
John Fisher, the billionaire son of Gap chairman and CEO Don Fisher, will be a majority investor—a sign the small-market A's might not be one of baseball's low-budget teams for much longer.
My beloved Oakland A's are getting a new owner. From the days of the Bash Brothers to the current bane-of-Joe-Morgan's-existence Moneyballers, I've always had a soft spot for the boys in gold and green. It'll be interesting to see how much changes now that Billy Beane (a) doesn't have Mulder and Hudson and (b) does have some money to play with.
Now, every time Jill spends a gazillion dollars at the Gap, she's going to tell me that she's just "helping the A's stay competitive in MLB's malevolently unfair economic structure."
