Commissar Selig, aka the Emperor Without Clothes, aka Baseball's Version of Forrest Gump, will have no problem with Maher getting a share of one of "his" teams. Selig is a dyed-in-the-wool leftist 'Rat, so why should he?

If this were, say, Rush Limbaugh, he wouldn't even get a chance to talk about owning a even a minority share in a club. Conservatives need not apply. If I'm not mistaken, there hasn't been a Republican owning a significant part of a Major League Baseball franchise since George W. Bush left the Texas Rangers to run for governor of Texas. (That was 1994.) Selig will keep it that way as long as he's the Commissar.

I think George Steinbrenner was a Republican. When I posted this i had truly forgotten about Rush’s effort to become a part owner of the Rams. Were he to try to buy a share of an MLB franchise, I’m sure he’d be denied.

Nolan Ryan?

I think Nolan Ryan is a pretty overt Republican.
