Subject: Re: It Will Be Interesting... Author: Oak Lawn Guy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 17:30:45 10/03/03 Fri In reply to: Tom 's message, "It Will Be Interesting..." on 22:48:36 10/02/03 Thu I think this could be the breath of fresh air this outfit has needed for a while. It's hard not to speak poorly of former ownership when it was clear as day that they were not putting the amount of work and/or money into the team that was necessary to provide a top notch product. Personally I don't lay any of the blame on the team's administration. I mean when you can't enough dough to hire a groundskeeper, and supplies seem always to be short....who else can be held accountable? Perhaps the mayor's son being a part owner is a conflict of interest somewhere along the line )although I can't imagine that there is any restraint of trade involved, or that a Crestwood/Cheetahs "machine" is going to be built). But that will also serve those same owners to want to get people to Crestwood to spend their money on a regular basis. And how do you do that? You give them an attractive product. And how do you accomplish that? Time, effort and money. And what do you get as a result? Well, if you do it write, a better product on and off the field. I am not sure that anyone loses in that deal.

Author: cubs rule [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:02:00 10/06/03 Mon yes it may be a conflict of interest, but it could be the best thing that happened to the organization. the mayor had constent problems with arch and heeman not advertising the team and bringing money into crestwood. if i was a betting man i would have tothe new ownership and mayor will do everything they can to get people into hawkinson ford. a percent of the ticket sales are kicked back to the village of crestwood which the mayor wants and the mayors son and new ownership need to make a profit. i think it is a win-win situation. improvements to the stadium, more advertsing and more social appearances by coaches and players are needed to make this thing happen. im sure the new breeds will go all out to make crestwood what it should be, a top notch baseball community.
