Magic Johnson Delivers a Hollywood Ending in the Dodgers Saga

For Los Angeles Dodgers fans, it's almost as good as a Hollywood ending: basketball legend Magic Johnson will be part owner of a major league powerhouse that's fallen on hard times. The deal is worth $2 billion, the most ever paid for any professional athletic team.

For Los Angeles Dodgers fans, it's almost as good as a Hollywood ending: basketball legend Magic Johnson will be part owner of a major league powerhouse that's fallen on hard times. The deal is worth $2 billion, the most ever paid for any professional athletic team. It's a lot for investors, but for fans of the LA Dodgers, it's a cheap price for ending the era of Frank and Jamie McCourt. Matt "Money" Smith is co-host of the "Petros and Money" show on KLAC in Los Angeles, also heard nationally on Fox Sports Radio.
