Rangers and Stars owner Tom Hicks publically acknowledged today that he no longer has the passion necessary to be a sports owner.
Everyone already knew that, but at least he said it.
“I’m 64 years old, and I don’t want that anymore. Jerry Jones is a good friend of mine, but his life and his family’s life is the Dallas Cowboys. Mark Cuban, the Dallas Mavericks are his life. This isn’t my life.”
-Tom Hicks
As a devoted Rangers fan who dreams about working for the team, it’s difficult for me to fathom what he is saying. Sports, especially baseball, are my life, and I like it that way.
Mr. Hicks, please do all in your power to sell the team to Chuck Greenberg and Nolan Ryan as soon as possible so that the passion that you are lacking can be rekindled at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
Greenberg and Ryan are the right men to help do that. They aren’t going to decide one day that baseball isn’t in their plans anymore.
Hicks is also entertaining offers for the Dallas Stars and looking to sell his interest in a Liverpool soccer team.
