If you’re a Pittsburgh Pirates fan who wants to see a refreshing example of ownership accountability to the fans, look no further than across the state to Philadelphia Phillies owner John Middleton.
The Phillies have been one of the best teams in baseball this season, but have recently entered a slump. Talking to MLB.com, Middleton discussed the need for the team to evaluate why they weren’t playing like they were earlier this season. He noted how you can’t just point out past winning and passively expect things to turn around.
The refreshing aspect was his stated responsibility toward Phillies fans.
