Why Marge Schott should be in the Hall Of Fame |
|
From WIKI:
She was the second woman to own a North American major-league team without inheriting it (the first being New York Mets founder Joan Whitney Payson), and the first woman to buy an existing team rather than inheriting it.
The Reds had long been a family-oriented franchise, and fans praised her efforts to keep ticket and concession prices low. For instance, she kept the price of the basic hot dog at a dollar, and kept box seats around $12—the cheapest in baseball. Unlike most owners, she sat in a regular box seat at Riverfront Stadium, and often signed autographs. She loved children (she never had any of her own) and often allowed groups of them on to the field to run to deep center field and back.
Oh, and did I mention I love the Reds?

5. Indeed. What a horrid person she was |
|
And I grew up a Reds fans, the first game I ever went to was at Riverfront stadium. But she was an embarrassment to me, and actually was an example of all that I hate from my hometown ( there are an unfortunate number of racists there)

3. Plus, her dog Schottzie lifted his leg on the mound at Three Rivers Stadium. |
|
Hell, that's a case for Schottzie to get in on his own!

I can't believe that the Reds had a Marge Schott bobble head night.
