Donald Trump pursues majority purchase of Mets

San Francisco Chronicle February 16, 2011 04:00 AM
Donald Trump said Tuesday that he called Fred Wilpon, the Mets' principal owner, about two weeks ago to arrange a face-to-face meeting to discuss the potential sale of the club.

The meeting has not been held, said Trump, who made it clear that he would be interested only in buying a majority stake in the team.

6. In the end, he won't buy The Mets.
He can't call them "The Greatest", or "The Best", etc. if they keep losing seasons like their past track record. Trump only sticks with projects that pan out to even have the illusion of being "the best".
