Browns threaten to move if fans don’t flock to games
In a blunt ultimatum quoted by proxy Bill DeWitt, the St. Louis Browns threaten to pull their team from St. Louis unless paying fans return in larger numbers. The piece argues such threats alienate fans, recalling a Texas league scare in San Antonio where locals refused to be bullied into attendance. The writer compares the tactic to Beaumont manager Guy Airey’s past “move-out” fines and cautions that pressuring fans is a poor way to build support.
