The Mara relations founded the New York Giants in 1925, when Tim Mara (who was a bookmaker, among other things) and partner Billy Gibson bought the gang for $500. The Maras have owned all or part of the franchise ever since.

The Cardinals franchise, now based in Arizona and led by the shy Bill Bidwill, has been in the Bidwill blood since 1932. In Pittsburgh, the Rooney family founded the Steelers with a $2,500 purchase on July 8, 1933.

In Oakland, age is alluring up with one of the league's all-time mavericks, Al Davis. He shows up for league meetings wearing either an all-white or all-black workout proceeding, now needing the use of a walker to get around. Then there's the frugal Mike Brown of Cincinnati, son of the late Paul Brown, a legendary school and owner.

Meet the fella who makes his home near home plate Sarasota Herald-Tribune

Agreeable to what could be the best apartment in America ... for one month a year, anyway.

It is hidden among the used car lots and body fix up shops on 9th Street W. in Bradenton, and it is occupied by a 33-year-old man who works in the cart barn at a local golf sure.

About 60 feet away from Matt Gordon's front door is McKechnie Field, spring home of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Savagely 150 feet away is home plate.

"You look out your bedroom window or your kitchen window, or accompany out your front door and 'Boom,' you're watching Major League baseball," said Gordon.

Gordon is so close to the field, and has had so many putrefacient balls hit his apartment, that he may be the only person in the nation who can justifiably yell: "Hey, Jeter, how many times do I have to tell you? Keep that baseball over in your own yard."

The A-one part is that you'd never know it's an apartment. It looks exactly like the front of a business, not unlike the other buildings in the vicinity. Gordon said it toughened to be the office for a car lot.
