If the Steinbrenners decide to sell the Yankees, or the Dolans bow to fan pressure and sell the Knicks, a consortium of buyers is ready. Hank Aaron, the true home-run champ who retired with 755 steroid-free homers, has joined with Mario Cuomo, Jack Kemp and taxi tycoon Andrew Murstein, the president of Medallion Financial. They just raised more than $200 million through an IPO for Sports Properties Acquisition Corp. The public company plans to buy a sports, leisure or entertainment business such as a sports team. The deal was oversubscribed despite a choppy market. The stock trades under the symbol HMR.U, which stands for home run. -- NY Post

If they were to theoretically buy the Yankees, they would need another 800 million to get into the discussion.

If Hank is serious, he'd better step on it. He's not a young man. He turns 74 this week.

I think you may be right. $200 million isn't enough to buy any team anymore....maybe an american soccer team.
