So I'd get an MLB team ...Then I'd buy so many players, people would start calling Steinbrenner...cheap.

Steinbrenner spends $200M+ per year on players. You'd spend $300M? After three years, one of your ten B will be gone. You'll see that you're on the path to ruin, and you'll bail. You'll have the greatest fire sale in sports history.

IOW, you'll be Wayne Huizenger.
