    @ McCourt’s Millions: Yep. Frank McCourt has a 50 per cent stake in all of the parking lot action, as well as any land development outside the stadium itself.

    If the Angels signed Otani for 1 billion over 8 years after one game he would come up lame with a masive groin injury and need Tommy John surgery that would sideline him for 4 years.

    I heard Fred Roggin’s report from the All-Star game at Chavez Ravine that some parking spots at the stadium are going for a cool $700. Looks like Frankie McCourt will be able to keep ahead of inflation with dollars to spare.
