April 3, 20233 yr And it's on Audible...! "From the Front Row: Reflections of a Major League Baseball Owner and Modern Art Dealer" https://a.co/d/3GtFNtQ
April 3, 20233 yr Quote "Jeffrey has a deep appreciation for the artistry of baseball. His love, enthusiasm, and respect for all aspects of the game began on the Little League sandlots of New York City and culminated as the owner of the World Series Champion Marlins. As he writes, “Great baseball players have much in common with great artists.” Baseball has been truly fortunate to share in Jeffrey’s passion, caring, and commitment to our sport." -- Rob Manfred, Commissioner, Major League Baseball
April 3, 20233 yr I'd be interested in reading this but I have a funny feeling the baseball stuff is about the 03 world series and getting the stadium built. Might not dive deep enough into the failures.

April 3, 20233 yr I would read it.. I mean separate from the whole Marlins owner part, the guy seems to have a pretty interesting life story, I guess he enrolled in Yale as a pre med student and then after taking an art history class decided to switch life paths and become a very successful art dealer/ eventually terrible MLB team owner. He wrote a book about collecting original art in 1965 and a book about Charlie Brown and the peanuts comic strip in 1968. Actually, I would read it as I enjoy reading the occasional biography, and as a Marlins fan for 20+ years, Jeffery Loria is a big player in the history of being a Marlins fan. But not for $30. 😂 Maybe a couple of years down the road if I come across a used copy for like $10-12, I would consider it. Or if eventually it's available in a local library, 100% will read it. 😂 Edited April 3, 20233 yr by SirFishFan
