He is committed to winning and isn't afraid to throw money around to do so. He would add excitement to this league where very few people could name a single MLB owner. I started a campaign in support of Cuban. It looks to pool together money and if he becomes the owner the money will be donated, if he doesn't then the money goes back.

When you think back at some crazy contracts in history, Tiger Woods with Nike, in the long run, they were actually boons for the company/brand that signed those contracts. But then there is the Time/AOL merger too...but the Cubs aren't a flash in the pan like AOL. BTW...listen all the time here in Guangzhou China. You help fill in the long car rides between site visits. Great work...keep it coming.
