Response from Lew Wolff for Jeffrey August

Much to my surprise, I checked my email late today (I've been traveling this weekend) and Lew Wolff has sent a response to the post by Jeff August, writing to Bud Selig.

Here it is:

Hi Tyler:

As I do not directly blog, I will impose on you to communicate either directly or through your great Athletics Nation site with Mr. Jeff August for me.

Jeffrey - Thank you for your suggested communication to Commissioner Selig.

Your "letter" was balanced, thoughtful and well-reasoned.

I can assure you the Commissioner is intensely involved in the request I have made to him regarding our desperate need for a viable new venue.

The Winter Meetings (which I will be attending for a couple of days) is not an owner's meeting and would not be a logical time or place for a ruling to occur -- although I would, of course, welcome any time and place.

I will most certainly let Josh Feinberg know of your kind comments about him and our organization's sales effort.

Wish I could be more specific.

Thanks again for your very sincere interest.

Lew
