Senators Sold for 10 Million to New Owner Short
Robert Short emerged as the new owner of the Washington Senators after paying about 10 million dollars. He vowed to transform the team from a cellar-dweller into an artistic and financially successful outfit, warning of potential changes if needed. Short, 50, is a former Los Angeles Lakers owner and Democratic national committee treasurer, who does not intend to move the club or sell it, though he signaled readiness to alter management if required.
