Owners expect lasting presence

The Nashville Sounds are the city's oldest professional sports franchise, and the fans deserve the credit for loyally standing by their team through its 30-plus year history.

As the new owners of the team — pending league approval — my partners and I want to publicly state our commitment to building a lasting relationship with you.

I plan to be at the ballpark on a regular basis, to get to know as many of you as I can, and try to make the Sounds home stadium a place where fans feel comfortable and welcome. My partners, Steve Posner and Masahiro Honzawa, are similarly committed to the fans.

None of the three of us is from Nashville. Posner and I are from New York, and Masahiro originally hails from Japan. But my visits to Nashville, which began a couple of years ago when my daughter enrolled at Vanderbilt, have left me — and my partners — impressed with the friendliness of Nashvillians, the excitement of this city, and the bright future it no doubt has.
