By now you’ve heard that an investment group headed by Bruce Sherman and Derek Jeter have won the bidding for the Miami Marlins. Following the birth of Jeter’s new daughter last week, it is apparent he will now have two needy charges under his care. One will keep him awake all night, screaming and soiling itself, and the other will be Bella Raine Jeter. I don’t want to talk about Derek Jeter, though, I want to talk about Jeffrey Loria.
Loria, the soon-to-be-ex owner of the Marlins, will be remembered with derision and embarrassment by the league, loathing by the taxpayers of Miami-Dade County and the state of Florida, and will likely soon be forgotten to history by the Marlins fanbase, whom Loria expressly repelled.
