John Sherman likes being in the news.
That is the only conclusion I can come to after reading his open letter, released Tuesday afternoon. It contains one (1) instance of celebrity worship, one (1) instance of advertising for the existing stadium, one (1) instance of telling us he’s going to give us more information about the new ballpark he wants someone else to build for him, and one (1) instance of insisting that his new stadium will somehow do something that no other new stadium has ever done.
Sherman said he will contribute "well in excess of $1B in private investment," which sounds great except in his first letter he said the total cost would be $2B, so that leaves close to $1B to be paid for by somebody who isn't owner of the Royals.
