Mr. Wolff, You's Got Some Splainin' To Do
What Was A's Owner Doing In Sox Suite?
It would be treason if Raiders owner Al Davis was caught celebrating another NFL team's championship. Then why would it be alright for the Lewis Wolff, the new owner of the A's, to be watching last night's ALCS clincher in Anaheim from the private luxury suite of Chicago owner, Jerry Reinsdorf?
There Lewis was, captured on television standing next to Reinsdorf holding a glass of, presumably, bubbly after the White Sox took the lead in the eighth inning.
Should A's fans be concerned? Wolff is a southland native and warmed the hearts of many A's fans when he enthusiastically rooted on the team from the front row of Angels Stadium during the A's and Angels late season showdown. Maybe those were Wolff's personal season tickets? Maybe he's a closet Angels fan, too?
The A's have said that Reinsdorf, the winner of six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls, is a long time friend of Wolff and one of the reasons why the real estate mogul purchased the A's.
But, there's something unsettling seeing the A's owner celebrating a rivals accomplishments. Something conspiratorial. Should we let our guards down from the previous reign of the cold-blooded ownership of Steve Schott and give Wolff so much slack?
