My view hasn't changed. We're just not ready for Major League Baseball.

We are thrilled to be a part of this terrific opportunity for Charlotte; we look forward to working with the professionals with Minor League Baseball and the Charlotte Knights baseball club to ensure a top-quality experience for all attendees.

We're struggling to get some public help to rebuild our AAA stadium, let alone to build something of that magnitude. I don't know if Charlotte can support three major-league sports franchises right now.

I love people's vision like that, but he's got to be realistic. There's some problems that I don't think he's necessarily addressed. ... Where's the money coming from?

The cardinal rule in baseball is you don't gamble. It's been posted in every clubhouse since 1927.

We wasted opportunities, but when we hit the ball, they caught it. They're a good baseball team. Defensively they are awfully solid.
