Re: Carl Lindner hospitalized
Prayers for him and his family. He's done more in his 92 years than many of us could ever hope.

May he rest in peace, but I was not a fan of his ownership of the Reds.

But he was not a good owner for the Reds. They floundered around most of the years he owned them. He never put in the money needed to keep the Reds competitve.

He was great for the town. Not so great for the ballteam.

Re: Carl Lindner has passed away. RIP, "Uncle Carl"
I think the problem was that he saw the team like he did the symphony -- it was enough to make sure the city had a symphony and a baseball team. But baseball ownership requires a dynamic constant pushing forward, which he wasn't up to. Most things that went wrong in those years weren't his fault, but someone more dynamic could have taken the '99 Reds, Griffey and the new ballpark and created a new era for the franchise.
