David Glass Shitty Facts
Let's compile a list...

1. David Glass, as VP, COO & CEO, helped take @Walmart from around 130 stores in 1976 to over 4000 stores in 2000. He is basically the devil.

2. In 2000, Glass became sole owner of the Royals for $96 million. The Board approved his offer despite a competing bid $120m by Miles Prentice

3. The Royals are now worth nearly $500m. David Glass stands to profit over $400m when he sells... and the fans got 20 losing seasons.

4. Dan Glass is the heir apparent.


Please try to keep them around 140 characters. :-) What shit can we find about him?

I'm not sure Miles Prentice would have been any better. Not defending Glass though. Only good thing I can say about him is that he hasn't tried to move the team.

I've seen both numbers. I think that $75 million was his first bid. Google "Miles Prentice Royals $120 million"

Miles Prentice openly said he anticipated operating a 25-30 million dollar payroll if he got the team. Now maybe some of the day to day decisions wouldn't have been as stupid... but I don't think the financial situation would've been any different. It's not like he was Mark Cuban.

Glass gutted it to around $19 million when he took over the team. But that was 20 years ago...

The shitty fact is that saps keep buying tickets to watch the Royals.

Its something to do in the summer. They've somewhat successfully added enough non-baseball attractions (activities for kids, outfield bars, giveaways) to keep a reasonable amount of people coming in.

After 20 years of shit teams, there's a whole generation that has never known the Royals to be a good team and never became die-hard fans. Its just something to do every once in a while.

This. Admittedly I went to a game last year. The perception I get is that are a ton of fans out there with the attitude of "golly, it's real swell they let KC have a MLB team. Lets just be happy and keep rooting for these boys!"

I mean, people will cheer for anything no matter how crappy it is. There is no in incentive for Glass to change a damn thing.

Its a night out, maybe a free t-shirt and fireworks, and the kids can run the bases after the game! It's a good as having a decent team!

And what a horribly low standard that is.

It almost feels like a minor league atmosphere out there. Ahhhh shucks, who cares if we win, we all had a good time!

I do think there are still a lot of diehard fans. Probably more than there should be. Look at how many people were up at 4 in the morning last night to catch the end of the game. "Royals" was one of the top 4-5 things trending nationally on Twitter. Cardinals was not.

Sadly, it has become exactly this. Hope has never looked so far away.
