Thought this was very interesting. If I was one of those "dot com" or Facebook multi-millionaires, I would really love to approach the Sox and get involved in something like this...or running a minor league team in one of the five "A" level classifications.

 

I wonder how many more "investors" will pop up in terms of competition and how many will actually make a profit?

 

Having lived in Colombia for one year, the north coast (Cartagena/Baranquilla) would be the other main area that's undertapped...Orlando Cabrera and the Renteria brothers came out of there. Or maybe Panama, with the likes of Mo Rivera and Carlos Lee....probably too much competition already in the D.R.

 

Or maybe even here in China, although I think that would be ultra-complicated with the government. I know the Yankees, Dodgers, Angels, Mariners and Red Sox all have varying degrees of involvement. And I remember a team, I think it was the Pirates, signing a couple of Indian or Pakistani cricket players and attempting to convert them. Anyone know how that experiment is going?

Great Idea!! For sure way to compete in the future & help people.
