'Interview II - Money 101 - Most Valued Cards'
"Alex was contacted by the Los Angeles Times about the sale of the Dodgers."
Around the corner and outside the Express News newsstand and cafe on Main Street, owner Shezy Khan arranged newspapers, one of which announced the Dodgers' proposed sale.
"Hopefully things are going to get a lot brighter," said Khan, looking at the headline.
"It was becoming more of a joke," he said. "We were paying for this guy's lavish lifestyle."
At Valley Sports Cards and Memorabilia in Tarzana, owner Alex Mortimer, 41, said he would welcome almost any new owner.
"It can't be any worse," Mortimer said. "It was absurd when the McCourts bought the Dodgers in the first place. I'm just happy he's not going to end up keeping the parking lot."
Reaction from civic leaders ranged from the diplomatic to the … not so much.
Antonovich offered one of the more acerbic statements, teeing off on the Dodgers' response to the near-fatal beating of a San Francisco Giants fan last spring — and the inference, by team attorneys last week, that victim Bryan Stow might have borne some responsibility for what happened.
Antonovich said McCourt's legacy "was further soiled by the inference that Bryan had culpability in his own severe beating."
Los Angeles City Council President Eric Garcetti said the agreement to sell the team delivered "a great day for Dodger fans."
"We need ownership that puts baseball first," Garcetti said.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said he hopes the next owner of the Dodgers will have local roots.
"As a Dodger fan and an Angeleno, it has been a very, very tough season," Villaraigosa said. "I'm looking forward to local ownership. I want the owner to be from Los Angeles. I want someone who loves this town and believes in this city."
