Wow what a HUGE story! I think this might be a start to help get young African American youth interested in the sport called baseball. Because NBA Hall Of Fame member and five time NBA champ Ervin “Magic” Johnson is now a owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The sale is for two BILLION dollars. Let me repeat two BILLION dollars!! Please read the above story for all the inside details of the deal.

I am just happy to see a African American as a owner of a major sports team in the United States. Magic is joined by others who are owners also. It’s a team of people who are involved. Of course Micheal Jordan owns te terribel Charlette Hornets. MJ needs to do shake something up BIG TIME with the Bobcats.

As a African American, I am VERY happy to see Magic as a owner of the LA Dodgers. He is a winner. A TREMENDOUS businessman and I think of “showtime” when I think of Magic Johnson.

When I go to games at Safeco Field here in Seattle I just see white faces in the stands. The marketing of baseball in Seattle to the inner city is flat out terrible.

The marketing of baseball on a national basis to inner cities is terrible. With Magic a owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers it can only help baseball as a whole as far as I concerned to get more inner city kids involved in playing baseball.

Big shout out to Magic. This is a big day in sports.   Gordon Curvey
