Bobby Cox Baseball Reference Page Sponsor Posts Negative Comment

moxacaine · Jul 25, 2012

I was browsing baseball reference and found myself on Bobby Cox's page when i noticed the page sponsor posted this comment.

"Robert B sponsor(s) this page.
Never has one man done so little with so much. The Braves were ten games a season better the moment he retired"

Pretty untrue comments as the current team has pretty much underachieved.

Sponsorships are usually around $75-$100 for someone of Cox's stature. It's a weird system, starts high and then decreases a litttle each day until someone buys it. I used to sponsor Mark Grace way back in the day when it only cost me $20 for the year, but prices have really risen.

I remember seeing one other negative page, but can't remember who now. Must really hate the guy to spend it on that!

Can you web-squat on those pages? Or does the premium rise with traffic? I.E., could I "prospect" a minor-leaguer's page if they get 1 or 2 ABs and then have an MLB page? It wouldn't be worth it if the cost increased with noteriety; but if someone wanted it and you owned it, i could see asking for a "fee" for giving it up.

Or is that too greedy for a fan to ask?

Fans of the 28 teams not named Red Sox (or Yanks) sponsor(s) this page.

Congratulations, Boston. You couldn't win a title, so you bought TWO - just like the Yanks. Open the wallet for Curt, Keith, and Johnny - end 86 years of frustration. 175M reasons never to whine about NYY. PS 2007: Open wallet for Beckett, Daisuke, Lowell

I saw that the other day, I was amused.

Can understand the Bobby hate, has gone to more championship games than any other American Sports team in history in consecutive years and they got one ring out of it. They're almost like the Buffalo Bills except they eventually got something for their problems and then dropped off afterwards.

I've read quite a few negative sponsorships over the years. Not sure I find the humor in trolling people who can't respond showing their frustration. If anyone here wants to pay me $20 to piss off a bunch of Braves fans I'll gladly take your money and tell you I did it.
