Does Anyone Remember Vladimir Shpunt?

If you happen to follow any of our social media accounts, you would have seen that Saturday was the anniversary of the day that former owner Frank McCourt agreed to sell the Los Angeles Dodgers to the Guggenheim Management Group for $2.1 billion, the highest amount ever paid for a team in the history of professional sports.

This was, no doubt, a huge revolution in franchise history.

Right at the top of the sale was a criminal investigation of some of McCourt’s actions while in charge of the organization. Before the final sale went through, a federal grand jury was investigating his endeavors for possible criminal financial misconduct of the team.
