NO COMMITMENTS, McHALE SAYS
Braves Deny Move Offers
The Milwaukee Braves have
made no commitments to move
out of the city, John McHale,
Braves’ president, said Tuesday.
McHale also said that “we
have never had any offer, as
such, to go anywhere.”
McHale appeared on a taped
televised news conference, “The
Bobby Bragan Show” on
WTMJ-TV, The Journal Com-
pany station.
He said that certain factors
have entered the picture to
“help us make yp our mind,”
These factors, he said, were
an offer from the county board
to renegotiate the Stadium con-
tract, giving the ball club all
concession revenues, and a new
radio, and television offer from
the Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co.
It is estimated that both offers
would mean an additional $250,-
———
000 annual income for the
Braves.
In a later interview with The
Sentinel, McHale said that the
Braves might have made a de-
cision about moving earlier in
the s@ason, but then “‘we
wouldn't have had anything
from Schlitz or the county.”
McHale commented that peo-
ple probably will say that,.“"You
have used this to bargain.”
“But this isn’t true,” he said.
“We have never implied that
we were dissatisfied.”
He said that the Braves
have had no “subsidy offer”
from any other city.
He later commented that his
earlier use of the word “‘sub-
sidy” in regard to the county
offer was an unfortunate one.
It should instead be called an
