Better?

If only he were still alive.  Miss you, Norm.

But guess who is? Hall of famer Rod Carew

I was there Friday, 
boo’d as loud as I could. 
worst owner in sports sans Fisher 

Lol.
"A staple of that montage has been the inclusion of Angels owner Arte Moreno. A video of Moreno holding his own jersey up at a press conference has long been mixed into other highlights that include no-hitters, playoff wins, celebrations of the franchise’s all-time greats and even just nostalgic images of fans twirling stuffed monkeys in the air.
On Friday, loud cheers erupted whenever Trout came up — his Rookie of the Year, his cycle and his three MVPs, all noted. Voracious boos accompanied Shohei Ohtani’s inclusion, his Rookie of the Year, cycle and MVPs all met with disdain, surprisingly loud, even in light of Ohtani’s departure to sign a $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Then, there was Moreno, the man who is perhaps most logically to blame for Ohtani’s departure. His appearance was and always has been brief — no longer than a few seconds. If this were a Tuesday night in mid-May, it would have come and gone, not internalized long enough to even be noticed and forgotten.
But on Friday night, the home opener, the fans let him hear it. The crowd’s anger was unambiguous. And he was in attendance to witness it, likely from his second-floor suite.
The next night, in front of a much more subdued Saturday evening audience, Moreno’s place in the montage had been nixed. The same held true on Sunday. The rest of the montage appears largely untouched." 

Maybe not an exact thread for the subject, but Perry has to work within the parameters that Arte sets. And Arte is not popular in baseball.  Speaking of ownership and management, this again is not very flattering regarding Arte.

I still think of Carew primarily as a Twin and not really a core Angel icon though he certainly was a great player. Same with many of their former big name acquisitions who were long time greats on other teams. 
 

In all fairness, many players and teams are going to do that 

He's going to Napoli us. Raw dog style.

If he was betting against his own club, he wouldn't owe money to the Bookie.
 

I think many of us have questions and things don't add up.
