McCourt Prays For Help With Dodgers

Prominent Los Angeles religious leaders are offering their support to embattled Dodgers owner Frank McCourt.

Leaders were meeting Friday for 9 a.m. news conference at First AME Church of Los Angeles. The group plans to call on Bud Selig, Commissioner of Major League Baseball, to act responsibly on matters concerning the Dodgers.

Leaders said that McCourt reached out to them. As a result, a 20 page letter was sent to Selig by 20 local religious figures asking him to approve the $3 billion deal between McCourt and Fox.

“It is out sincere hope that you will exercise your judgment wisely and explore all options and remedies prior to making a determination on the future of the Los Angeles Dodgers including the state of their ownership and any revenue gathering plans,” the letter said.

Neither Major League Baseball nor McCourt have commented on the letter.
