The owners are still going to be rich and get rich off the teams valuation increasing but this is the world we live in. Choose to live in reality or let Nashville or Texas take one or both of our teams.

Did you happen to read that article I posted about the breakdown of what Clay County was offering to the Royals? Dude who owned the land is one of Sherman's best friends. I would be willing to bet anyone the Royals don't go to Kansas. It will be A. The city of Kansas City finances them with city funds or B. the Royals play on the other side of the river. Kansas would need to pass ATLEAST 1b to get the Royals over. They just rejected expanding Medicare. Good luck getting some state rep on Hays to vote for it.

This definitely. It wasn't long ago the typical in the know NKC guy was certain the ballpark was coming. Not sure, but I think Sherman is a Northlander.

Sherman lives in Mission Hills.

As far as the Clay County option goes, quite a few of the northland politicians and commissioners "in the know" actually thought they had a legitimate shot last fall when it was still up in the air. I'd guess they're back in contact now that the vote failed but I haven't heard anything for certain from those that I know.

The Shermans live in Sunset Hill between Ward Parkway and Loose Park (KCMO)

You're a real stickler, huh?

But you're technically correct. I was off by definition by about a block and a half to the west. On a sidenote, I actually went to John Sherman's house and sat on his sofa with none other than Twisted Chief himself!

I am, but the 1.5 blocks between Mo and KS are the most important in the city! I want to know more about the visit to his house...was it at 3 am and were you two wearing all black?
