The Nation: Henry Paulson And Bye Bye Baseball

Henry Paulson, former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, and former owner of the Portland Beavers, sold his baseball team after a confrontation with the city over the building of a new stadium. Dave Zirin and Jules Boykoff argue that the Paulson could have paid for the stadium himself. Asking the city to build it only reinforces the fraught relationships of team owners and citizens.
