Reggie to take Twins to Vegas?
This is so far into rumor-land that I feel like Page Six here, but what the heck, it's a news story: Baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson has announced that he wants to buy the Minnesota Twins, which aren't actually for sale. And because Jackson's investment group has ties to Las Vegas ... you can connect the dots from there just as well as the Minneapolis Star Tribune can. For his part, Reggie would neither confirm nor deny, telling the Strib: "You can't move a team without baseball's permission. Baseball moves teams, not owners." If nothing else, this is surely going to make good fodder for the next Sid Hartman column.
Sid Hartman is fantastic. Nothing better than reading his articles in date order from earliest to more recent. It's like a really sad comedy hour.
