July 20, 200422 yr We just heard about this in Boston. What is the real deal? This week Clark Booth points out that John Henry just got his head handed to him in a Florida court and wonders why the Globe ignored the story. http://dotnews.com/booth.html Quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The judge asserted that while Henry was the Marlins principle owner the team "committed intentional acts designed to collect more insurance benefits" (than were deserved) to the tune of $2.7 million. In Judge Ronald Friedman's ruling Henry was chastised for his business practices and targeted quite specifically with the judge stating that the wrongful conduct occurred "at the highest level." Serious stuff. But apparently the kids at the Globe don't think it's a news story. On the other hand had it been George Steinbrenner who was on the receiving end it would have been stop-the-presses time, one suspects. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In any event this is how the Ft Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel saw it http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/basebal...-sports-marlins
July 20, 200422 yr It's been a national story for awhile. I remembering hearing it from the late Doug Pappas this spring. Nothing we Marlins didn't already know about the man's character.

July 20, 200422 yr If only John Henry stood up for himself in the negotiations with Wayne Huizenga like he did in that forum. Still... old news. We've already ahd two threads on this. Search the archives.
