Colleen and Chrystal look back at Marge Schott, who made history by becoming the first woman to buy a major league team (Joan Whitney Payson inherited the Mets), then made more history by being an absolute scoundrel, and
costing herself control of the team. Infamous enough for smoking that she appeared with a cigarette on the
cover of Sports Illustrated, and
for her dog who loved pooping on the field at Riverfront Stadium, her true vice – and the source of her downfall – was racism. Schott’s
praise for Hitler and use of the N-word are why her legacy remains toxic today, making her
the benchmark for terrible sports owners.
