i know this was 35 years ago (which is a lifetime), but this is one of the wildest paragraph's about sports i've ever read lol

The last time the Reds won a World Series, their owner, Marge Schott, was mad at them for sweeping it because that cost her ticket revenue for the rest of the series. She refused to pay for a celebration, which led to the team eating fast food in an empty hotel banquet room. The point of recounting this isn’t because it’s an incredible story, although it is, but because it was kind of a whispered story at the time, something that you’d find out years later as a “Did you know?” sort of tidbit. It wasn’t the topic of conversation that it would be now.

While the senile old man rides in carriages around castles, builds his ballroom, puts gold on everything, plans parades, attends a variety of sporting events, threatens people, and reads the scripts put in front of him, this psychopath is the one actually running the country.
