as did Rob Couhig who sold the team when he decided to run for office.

The two events sank the team as out-of-town majority ownership didn't really care. Walt Leger was a minority owner, but not as involved as Rob. Bringing in youngsters from all over the nation gave the kids a good education but was horrible for running a ball club in greater New Orleans.

Losing the Astros was the other nail in the coffin, especially once we were stuck with the Marlins.

The name change was a charade from the start to give another new out-of-town owner an excuse to pick up and move the team.
