So you want to own a baseball team?

Son played for a Northwoods team.

They were "for profit" back then, 9 years ago.  Well run.  High attendance. Excellent baseball.  They play to win.  Highly scouted by the pros.  Cost to the player then was about $250, only to pay for the uniform (son had a host family and most meals covered).  Heard his team was worth several million then (a high attendance team). 

I don't think any owners have had players on the team.  But there was an AI reference of players playing for dad coaches, but "not highly publicized".  I will say, if that player had been successful, it would have been publicized. 

NWL teams rarely come up for sale.  This is an opportunity, folks! 

Yeah I mean after the Cape, they're probably the top league.

Years ago I went in on investment deal that involved purchasing minor league teams. It was headed up by two former major leaguers. The leadership group only found three teams worth purchasing. The teams were eventually sold and the group dissolved. We made a profit. But not was in the investment prospective.

When my son finished college ball the head of the group asked if my son would be interested in playing short season rookie ball. He said he had contacts. This would have been daddy ball. I told him my son filled out questionnaires he wasn’t interested in signing if not drafted in the first twenty rounds. He was projected 27-32. He went undrafted after his responses. It’s a waste of time for a position player. The rounds don’t even exist anymore.

My son already had a job lined up for September where he interned. He didn’t tell us (mom, sister or me). He said after years of summer baseball he was going to the Shore, drink beer and make a business plan for getting hired in his more sober moments. Then in August, “Guess what! I have a job.”
