Doggy,

They had the tribute because she was their owner for years! Marge may have said bad
things once in awhile, but she loved her team and her city.

It was only proper that they had a tribute to her on OPENING Day of Baseball Season.

She was odd and called a player the n word so she had issiues will they do this for Geroege Stienbrenner when he dies No so why should they do it for her

DOGGY

I thougth New Yorkers loved the Stien-meister?

They'll probably put a statue of him in Yankee Stadium when he kicks off...out here theres been talk of if and when Tommy Lasorda, our most beloved Dodger coach, passes away of speading his ashes on the field. Maybe too for Stieny?

GOOO DODGERS!

(at least make the playoffs this year?)

Here is an article from WLWT channel 5 in Cincinnati for those who did like Marge.
It's great to know that someone cared so much for others than herself. Something we don't see enough of these days.

Details Of Marge Schott's $100 Million Estate Revealed
Money, Foundation Get Bulk Of Fortune

CINCINNATI -- Former Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott's estate, estimated by an executor to be worth about $100 million, will benefit her four sisters and a charitable foundation set up by Schott and her late husband.

Her will was filed Thursday in Hamilton County Probate Court. It leaves $1 million to each of her four sisters, including money for their long-term care, and smaller amounts to several longtime employees. She had no children.

The bulk of the estate will go to the Marge & Charles J. Schott Foundation. Robert Martin, Schott's attorney, a foundation director and one of four executors of her will, said the foundation will continue its charitable support of Schott's favorite causes.

Martin said the estimated $100 million value of Schott's estate was "our best guess."

Schott, who died March 2 at 75, gave millions during her life to the Cincinnati Zoo, the Boy Scouts and a Roman Catholic girls' school.

Her minority ownership share of the Reds is to be sold to the other team owners, with proceeds going to the foundation. Her share will be sold for an estimated $6.5 million, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported on Friday.

Schott was majority owner of the Reds from 1984 to 1999, which included the Reds' World Series victory over Oakland in 1990. She sold her majority stake in the team in 1999 to a group led by current chief executive Carl Lindner for $67 million under pressure from baseball because of a series of racially insensitive comments she made.

Her holdings include a car dealership, a Cincinnati shopping center, her home in suburban Indian Hill and industrial property near St. Louis.

Her will directs the foundation to use her home for charitable purposes. Executors have the authority to sell other property, with proceeds to go to the foundation.

Brian,

Thank you for a very appropriate post. Marge would like that, and would be proud!

She really did care and there are people out there today who are benefitting from
her gracious work.
