Jersey To Miami Switch Described As Comic Opera
The Miami Herald called the Jersey City International League franchise move to Miami a comic opera. League President Tommy Richardson said a $50 000 gift would only buy the satisfaction of baseball’s return, while keeping debts and expenses paid. Roberto Maduro said he’d move if rent at Miami Stadium and about $15 000 for radio rights were arranged. The Miami City Commission weighed stadium terms at 5 percent of gross admissions.
