You’ve gotta think that with the news that a group led by Magic Johnson has won the right to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers for an incomprehensible $2 billion is making the Wilpons think that maybe they should rethink their death grip on the Mets. Truth of the matter is: they’re going around the homes of New York area basketball legends to see if they have an extra $2 billion lying around to buy a baseball team.
They told Derrick Coleman that they had a baseball team for sale and he said “Well whoop de damn do”.
They handed Patrick Ewing a sales contract and he crumpled it up and put it in the garbage can. (It lipped out and fell to the floor.)
Darryl Dawkins proposed moving the Mets to Lovetron.
They told Willis Reed “two billion” and he replied “Get that number outta my face.”
Charles Smith tried to slam the door in the Wilpons’ faces but it stayed open five times straight.
Stephon Marbury answered the door while sprinkling cinnamon on a cup of Vaseline so the Wilpons just turned around and left.
Maybe that two billion will come one day. I wouldn’t count on it.
