Yep, Naimoli sued after baseball squashed his purchase of the Giants even though baseball threatened that St. Pete would never see a team if a lawsuit was brought. The expansion Rays were there 2 years later with a 30 year lease, something Ueberroth had previously cautioned all teams against (signing leases for more than 20 years). It's too bad Frank Morsani didn't try and force baseballs hand like Naimoli. Baseball shot down his attempt to buy the Twins in '84 and the Rangers in '88, both times trying to move them to Tampa.
