Los Angeles (CNN) -- The couple who bought the Los Angeles Dodgers seven years ago announced Monday they've agreed that the husband, Frank McCourt, will get the baseball team in their pending divorce.

With the marital spat settled, McCourt still must persuade a judge to let him keep the team, which he placed into bankruptcy after Major League Baseball blocked him from signing a television deal to provide it with the cash needed to meet its payroll.

I think he has a gold mine on his hands. He could make a lot of money by putting the San Francisco vs L.A. on Pay Per View. Not the actual game, just all the fights in the stands, that’s why I used to go to them. I was in SF back in the late 80’s when they had their last ever bat night. They should have prosecuted the guy who decided giving small wooden bats to a bunch of Drunk Dodgers and Giants fans was a good a good idea. Was a hell of a show though.
