I don't like him and I have my own reasons, which we have discussed at length before. But that move with the Rangers, whether is was his idea or not, was pure genius. Same with getting out of Arbusto and Spectrum with his shirt still on his back in the 80's.
The one thing I'll give the guy is that he knows what he can and can't do. He learned from the oil business that he's much better as a public figurehead spokesman type than an actual manager. People were suggesting almost as soon as he took over as General Partner of the Rangers, he should run for governor. He was THAT good. But he wanted to be baseball commissioner. Then when that job was taken by someone else, he fell back on the governor idea, which he wasn't very keen on. Remember, he got his ass kicked in 1978 running for the House from Midland.
Apparently that's worked out for him.![]()
