I looked up Alec (the only Baldwin worth a shit) and he’s worth 65M. So yeah, if they pooled they’d have 6 mil left between the 4 of them.

ndirish Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 What a beautiful stadium complex. Dozens of fans will enjoy it over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 This facility will provide access, training, workouts, rehab, you name it. Seems like it complements the AA NYSEG Stadium nicely. One would think AA players would be welcome to use some of the training facilities at SUNY which the Mets should like for their players.

These donors tend to be aged folks looking to leave a legacy at dear old Alma Mater. I'm not an expert on the tax rules at this level, but Stenger kept calling it a "donor family". Doesn't sound like one person's bequest. Since it's anonymous, it can't be a family foundation trying to meet their annual minimum disbursement. Those are open records. My guess is somebody's heirs inherited a donor-advised fund. You make contributions to those in any year for the tax deduction, but then you can't take the money out. You have no choice but to donate it eventually. Tens of billions get socked away in those every year. My guess is some alumnus had happy memories of playing ball at BU or was simply a massive baseball fan, had a successful career that involved a lot of stock options, and his heirs ran out of ideas. Very possibly just a small portion of whatever they're doing to dispose of the fund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27 Time World Champions Posted February 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 This is getting more interesting every day. This donor family must have some serious pull. Construction will start in just a few weeks and will be completed in time for the 2021 baseball season. Yankee legend, Derek Jeter will be in town to throw out the first pitch along with other baseball legends, George Brett, Johnny Bench and Reggie Jackson (to name a few). Derek Jeter and other Baseball Legends will be in Binghamton for Opening Ceremonies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the $60million somewhere else. That would ruin the whole scam Pete. You need new projects to hide bribes and payoffs. Simple math.

That thought also has merit. Unless it’s all to be revealed at the opening ceremony along with an official name for the complex reflecting the business or family.
