Question: Harley Hotchkiss was the face of the small-market franchises during his reign with the governors. You will be their protector as well?
Answer: Most small franchises are pretty darn successful right now. When I say those, I'm thinking of Canadian ones which were faltering back then and are immensely successful and among the leaders now, much of which has been affected by the over- 20-percent increase in the value of the Canadian dollar.
I guess, in a sense, being a protector of the small markets is important. . . . You are the steward of the game in total as opposed to just your interests. Some people refer to it as being league-centric as [opposed] to being team-centric.
