Connecting Dots

Vince Naimoli, the original owner of the Tampa Bay Rays franchise, died on Sunday, he was 81. The man I had a chance to talk with as the representative of a prospective ownership group in 1995 was a straight shooter. Too bad our clients were not. I like straight shooters and I liked Vince.

A shrewd businessman, Naimoli used his years of experience to help negotiate with Major League Baseball and land a franchise for the Tampa Bay region. In 1995, MLB owners voted 28-0 to grant a franchise to Tampa Bay and make them a part of the American League. Naimoli was strongly involved in all facets of the franchise, until selling his majority of the stake in the team in 2005 to the Rays current ownership.
