Proposed Royal Ownership Group Is Too Big
Major league owners will not approve Miles Prentice’s proposed $75-million bid to buy the Kansas City Royals in its present form, a high-ranking baseball official told the Associated Press.
Prentice, a New York lawyer who has pursued the team for almost two years, will be asked to re-form his group, the official said, speaking on the condition he not be identified.
The Prentice group numbers between 40 and 50 and includes some of Kansas City’s most prominent families as well as some of its most famous citizens, including golfer Tom Watson and Negro Leagues baseball star Buck O’Neil.

Baltimore has settled on a plan to demolish Memorial Stadium, former home of the Orioles, next year to make way for a 446-unit senior housing development and a recreation center.
Completed in 1953, the stadium has been vacant since Dec. 14, 1997, when the Baltimore Ravens played their last football game there.
