Frank McCourt Withdrew $189 Million Dollars From Dodgers Coffers

That’s the word from new MLB filings in Bill Shaikin’s new article:

“The league alleged McCourt had broken 10 MLB rules — any of them grounds for termination of his franchise — including what MLB termed the “siphoning” of team revenue for non-baseball use.

“The Dodgers are in bankruptcy because McCourt has taken almost $190 million out of the club and has completely alienated the Dodgers’ fan base,” the MLB filing read.”

You say siphoning, I say the McCourt’s needed to give their children jobs to keep them off the streets. Their fine, fine 16 carat gold-paved streets.

While the McCourts have driven Dodger fans far from the stadium, at least bargain hunters will have a place to hang out.
