If you are an eBay freak, you found this posting this
week:
"We are a group of fans looking for several ways to
finance the purchase of the Boston Red Sox. We will be
selling shares of our bid to buy the Boston Red Sox.
Each share will be $500. If you purchase a share, you
will receive a certificate showing the number of
shares you purchased. And your percentage of ownership
in the team in the event of a successful bid. You may
purchase as many shares as you like. If our bid is
successful, we will be looking to win a World Series
in the first year of our ownership. Our plan includes
the dismissal of current front office personnel (Dan
Duquette, Mike Port) and the contract extension of
manager Jimy Williams and pitching coach Joe Kerrigan.
Also the dismissal of batting coach Jim Rice, third
base coach Wendall Kim. Current first base coach Tommy
Harper will be moved to third base.
"We will be aggressive in the free-agent market this
off season. Looking to sign pitchers like Mike
Mussina, Rick Reed. And of course hitters like Alex
Rodriguez, and Manny Ramirez. And we will continue
toward building a new ballpark in the Fenway
neighborhood. If we do win the bid to buy The Boston
Red Sox, we will be holding monthly on-line meetings
with all shareholders. In these on-line meetings we
will discuss player transactions and trades. All moves
made by our ownership will be done by majority vote.
And you will have a vote in what our team does.
"This is a DREAM COME TRUE. So purchase a share now,
And BUY THE RED SOX with US. All Inquiries and
Purchases can E-mail us:
"
[email protected] disclaimer: in the event of an
unsuccessful bid all monies collected will be returned
to the shareholders minus a twenty percent
administration fee.
"BUYTHEREDSOX e-mails that he does not want to reveal
his identity, but he apparently is not Sam Adams,
Buddy Leroux or Jack Clark."
