Chang-San Chen doesn’t want to be a “troublemaker,” even if it means ending a beloved tradition. After a rough round of bad luck last spring, Chen, owner of Louie’s Superette, was struck with another low blow when his lawyer told him last spring he could no longer give bottles of champagne to his favorite seniors...
Moreno's critics are scratching their heads. Why would an owner who last season generated so much good will, and extra revenues, by cutting ticket prices and signing American League MVP Vladimir Guerrero provide fodder for late-night comedians?
