Posted By: <b>Rob D.</b><p>Please cut Bruce some slack and give credit where credit is due: Instead of e-mailing wishes of death to someone -- as he usually does -- this time he has posted in a public place for all to see.<br><br>That's progress. I suppose.

Must be the small market factor.<br><br>Also figures that they are the most highly leveraged. 95% debt level is similar to the worst of recent mortgage originations. No wonder they are whacking ticket prices. Can't service the debt without people in the seats!<br><br><a href="http://www.forbes.com/lists/2009/33/baseball-values-09_The-Business-Of-Baseball_Income.html" rel="nofollow">Link</a> (new window)

Posted By: <b>JimCrandell</b><p>I think Bruce's obituary has a much better chance of getting in--Atkatz is an asst prof and based on info Jeff has come up with for the board--a crappy one at that; he would not even have a job if tenure did not exist. Bruce is world renowned in private equity and is friends with Yogi Berra.

Posted By: <b>David Atkatz</b><p>Another gratuitous insult from that master of high finance, Jim Crandell.<br><br>Long, long after we're both dead and gone Jim, I will (at the least) be remembered for my published research, which exists at every physics library in every country throughout the world.

Or perhaps owning the greatest number of slabs of clear plastic? When PSA disappears (as it surely will, eventually) your entire raison d'etre dies along with it.<br><br>Here's to a life well spent.<br><br>

Posted By: <b>David Atkatz</b><p>Jeez Crandell... is that your best?<br><br>If you're an example of their &quot;talent,&quot; it's no wonder Lehman went belly up.
