The leader of this commission shall me called Mr. Baseball and he will have a giant baseball for a head. He will sit at a large, elevated desk (ala Harry Cohn) and hear various proposals and ideas. He will indicate his pleasure/displeasure non-verbally with a safe or out sign. People who really please him will be thrown a bag of peanuts. Those who deeply offend him will be pine-tarred and feathered and sent to Scranton.

You just know that the nomenklatura will not be satisfied until every last dollar is milked from that stadium bookdoggle.

This never would have happened if Marion Berry were still mayor.

Insert your own punch line.
