AUGUST
28, 2005 --
Producer
starter (and also producer of The Producers and president of
Jujamcyn Theaters) Rocco Landesman was seen at the last day
of the Broadway Show League season wearing a Cincinnati Reds
cap.
Previously, Landesman has worn a St. Louis Cardinals cap, and a Mobile, Ala.
minor league team cap when on the mound.
On August 25, LPR asked Landesman about the Reds cap.
He quickly replied that he wanted to buy the team, adding that he hoped he
was not "being presumptuous.".
LPR here publishes three photos of Landesman, one showing him at bat and two
showing him pitching his first game, August 25 against "All Shook Up," won
by
the defending Broadway Show League champions 6-3.
As far this this website is concerned, these photos are all the evidence Rocco
Landesman should need to bring to the attention of Major League Baseball to
be
approved as the new owner the Cincinnati Reds.
(In the second Producers game that day, against Beauty and the Beast, Landesman
pitched another eight innings. Last year, he beat Beauty. This time, Beauty
and the Beast won and is the 2005 BSL champion.)
And, next year -- let's have a softball game consisting of the owners of the
major league teams against a squad of all stars from the Broadway Show League.
But, as the Heckscher softball fields in Central Park will be under renovation,
next season, let's have this game in Yankee Stadium.
