The Dodger dingbats as seen from Boston

Makr Shanahan of The Boston Globe has a long piece about how the McCourts made their fortune in Boston and how the partnership has unravelled in Los Angeles. The story notes that Jamie wants to buy Frank out but predicts that's not going to happen --
What makes their split so juicy, even by L.A. standards, is that Frank, 56, and Jamie McCourt, 55, have been business partners for much of their 30-year marriage. In court documents, Jamie claims she gave her husband $1,000 to start his first company. A talented and tenacious lawyer, she was also her husband’s general counsel for a decade and served as CEO of the Dodgers until Frank sent her a bloodless letter Oct. 23 firing her. “Dear Jamie: This is to inform you that your employment with and positions as Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairperson of the Los Angeles Dodgers are hereby terminated effective immediately,’’ wrote Frank McCourt.
"This is hardly a woman who plays mahjong or drives golf balls all day long,’’ says Bert Fields, the Hollywood entertainment lawyer whose clients include Tom Cruise, Warren Beatty, and The Beatles. “Jamie has worked her butt off to get where she is.’’
In fact, she contends that she - not he - is the face of the Dodgers. Fields, who describes himself as Jamie McCourt’s “general consiglieri,’’ said his client hopes to buy out her husband. But many observers believe the McCourts will have no choice but to sell the club when the costly divorce is done.
