Forbes Magazine has put out it's annual list of the 400 Richest People. As per usual, there are several sports figures on the list, so many that Forbes gave them their own section. Calling them "jocks" seems a bit of a stretch.

Where do some of baseball's owners rank? Funny, not spending money must move you up this list. Carl Pohlad, owner of the Twins, is the highest baseball owner at #92. Pohlad owns banks, mortgage companies, and several other business. At #124, we find Carl Lindner. Lindner did open up some of his insurance and importing-created income for some bad signings this year, so we won't call him stingy.

Of course, we could point to #215 on the list, Mark Cuban, and once again wish that this blogging billionaire was part of the baseball list, especially in his own hometown.

Will,

There are a lot of us Ranger fans that would love to see Cuban buy the team from Hicks. Alas, Cuban has said he's not much of a baseball fan...

Will...Mark Cuban coming home to own the Pirates is every talk show caller's wet dream. Alas, it will simply remain that way.
