Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria has gotten a good deal of bad press in the last several months because he dismantled his team. But I wonder if we are seeing the real Mr. Loria. Is there a sentimental side we are missing? With that, in the spirit of the holiday season, and with apologies to Julie Andrews, I offer the following, in hopes that we all might rethink our feelings about Jeffrey Loria. To be sung to the tune of My Favorite Things:
Brie, wine, and sweaters, and Tahoe on Sunday
Off to the islands for breakfast on Monday
Lying to fans and pulling those strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Monets and Van Goghs and investor dollars
Fooled Mr. Selig and all those white collars
Loyal fans rot while I'm dining with kings
These are a few of my favorite things
Country clubs, golfing, and resorts abounding
Taxpayers, parking, and MLB counting
Trade them and cry poor and that's all I'll say
I'll just sign Juan and then call it a day
When the press bites, when the fans cry
I just laugh and sing
I simply remember my free stadium
And I do not feel a thing
Best to all during the holidays. Even the Scrooges.
