He deserves credit for winning the world series. Not going to happen again for years under the current management.
ReplyDeleteWow had no clue he was in that bad of shape.
ReplyDeleteHe did the right thing by the team and KC selling before his passing. A rare act of consideration that benefited KC.
ReplyDeleteBye Felicia.
ReplyDeleteHe was a shit owner who turned a great team into shit for decades. Glad the world is rid of his punk ass and I'll probably uncork a bottle of the good stuff in celebration later.
You suck dick.
DeleteRIP Mr. Glass and thanks for a World Championship!
ReplyDelete4:56 I’m breaking out the good stuff in his honor, after all, he did more for kc than any of us evar will.

Frank and Gail Beatty Statement
ReplyDelete4:56, unless it’s a murderer, rapist, etc., is there really any reason to celebrate someone’s death? You sound awfully bitter.

ReplyDeleteNo one cares what your statement says frank. Keep your big mouth shut has been chocolate boy and we will all be just fine.
4:56 sets the bar for asshole. Little man with no power or influence critiques one who did.
ReplyDelete4:56 has no first hand knowledge of this man and is probably so far removed from business that his only experience in finance and management is scraping up the rent money for his trailer in mom's backyard. Apologies to trailer people.
What a prick to speak about someone passing that actually left a mark more than only a Hersey squirt skid mark this prick will leave.
4:56 Good stuff has a cork? Hahaha
ReplyDeleteThe grandfather of analytics. thank you David Glass.
ReplyDeleteHe ripped off Jackson County taxpayers for $20 million a year for decades and then walked away with $1 billion from the sale of a team he paid $90 million for. Some hero!!!
ReplyDeleteHell of a businessman I say. Depends on your poor ass perspective. Hero (mic drop)!
ReplyDeleteThey kept his death quiet for 8 days!
ReplyDeleteYeah, family privacy is a bitch. I am outraged. Is interesting though. Oh shut my mouth.
ReplyDeleteThis man was no friend to Kansas City. He took a great small market club and ran it like a ghetto Walmart for nearly 30 years. Yeah, 2014 and 2015 were great years but they were a fluke.
ReplyDeleteSorry he died but glad the team's rid of him.
Hey 9:23 you can stop sucking on David's dick now, he's dead...
ReplyDeleteglass never cared about the fans hope for a great baseball team until he decided to sell the team and started spending money to boost the potential selling price. It worked. He never cared about us fans. Wally ball was a horror of mediocre teams for years and years.
