Doc's Morning Line: Marge Schott Stadium puts UC in a spot
So, what monumental socio-cultural topic are you tackling today, Mr. Sportswriter? Famine, nuclear proliferation, whirled peas?
Um, ah, well. . . Now that you mention it.
A UC pitcher has asked the school remove Marge Schott’s name from its baseball stadium. A former major leaguer and UC alum is on his side. What say you?
On the surface, it’s a no-brainer. On the surface, maybe you wondered why the university named its baseball stadium after Marge in the first place.
I can give you two million reasons why. At least. In December ’05, Schott’s charitable foundation gave UC $2 million toward Varsity Village. Thar’s a lot of money.
