MSNBC reports this evening that Rupert Murdoch’s Newscorp has entered the bidding for the Chicago Cubs (well, all of Tribune and Illinois) and my first thought was what happened when Newscorp owned the Dodgers and Murdoch “outted” Sandy Koufax.
Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation has joined the Chandler family in its bid for Tribune Company, with an eye to taking a stake in New York’s Newsday newspaper.
Newsday, which is based in Long Island, is one of Tribune’s largest newspapers, along with the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune. The media group, which put itself up for sale in September, also includes 23 television stations and the Chicago Cubs baseball team.

Note that the Salon article still claims that Larry King and Sand Koufax were childhood friends. They both lay claim to houses in Brooklyn within blocks of each other, but reportedly different years and different friends. I’d like to take credit for knowing everyone I grew up near, but it doesn’t make it true.
if you’re trying to out Larry King, I’d really prefer you did so somewhere else.
