he was 92, lol. pick a team with a younger/compatible personality owner. you can avoid this situation with common sense. if you like the Nats, just go in there and change it to a RL kids name with new age. i can relate to the latter. i only play with my hometown team. i don't abide cheap/interfering owners
side note:
