Includes information from a deposition. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Since the day she became the principal owner of the Cincinnati Reds, Marge Schott has been a woman surrounded by controversy. Allegations of her racist and anti-Semitic remarks made front-page headlines across the country. Mike Bass, the winner of the Associated Press Sports Editors Award for his series of articles on racism in sports, looks at the woman behind the Reds. This book corroborates the general perception of Schott as a boorish liar, employee-basher, and cheapskate. In short, she fits in with a long line of similar baseball owners like George Steinbrenner and Charley Finley. Schott is also accused of having an alcohol problem, but again, that's not unusual in the world of baseball. The meat of the story and the reason for her suspension is her well-established propensity for racial and ethnic slurs (even extending to her own employees), and her supposed discriminatory hiring practices, a charge that is harder to prove. Bass, a longtime Cincinnati sportswriter, employs a breathless, journalistic style in detailing Schott's background. Of interest for its topical look at racism in sports. Margaret Carolyn Unnewehr Schott (August 18, 1928 - March 2, 2004) was the managing general partner, president and CEO of Major League Baseball's Cincinnati Reds franchise from 1984 to 1999. She was banned from managing the team by the MLB from 1996 through 1998 due to statements in support of Nazi party leader Hitler. In 1984, she purchased a controlling interest and becoming the first woman to buy an MLB team. Five years later, the Reds won the World Series, when they swept the Oakland Athletics. Schott quickly became one of baseball's most publicly visible owners. The Reds had long been a family-oriented franchise, and fans praised her efforts to keep ticket and concession prices low. For instance, she kept the price of the basic hot dog at one dollar, and kept box seats around $12-the cheapest in baseball. In 1999, Schott agreed to sell her controlling interest in the Reds for $67 million to a group led by Cincinnati businessman Carl Lindner. She was facing an expiring ownership agreement with her partners, who planned to oust her.
