The
MLB All Star Game will be played tonight. This year, Shohei Ohtani, an Angels
player originally from Japan, was voted into the All Star game as a pitcher and
a hitter, an MLB first. On July 13, 1934, Babe Ruth hit his 700th
home run in a game against Detroit. Sports Illustrated says Ohtani
is better than Babe Ruth. Maybe tonight we’ll find out. If the game
slows down, take a look at MLB’s 1999 predictions about what player
uniforms would look like in 2021. Remember, the owners are always the real
winners.

Business Relationships
Business relationships end frequently. Sometimes a resolution
cannot be worked out to the satisfaction of all parties. Angelina Jolie
refers to herself as an “unwilling and disregarded” partner in papers
filed seeking court permission to sell the chateau
and winery she still owns with Brad Pitt.
Whether you are the partner taking action, or the
partner being forced out, if you need assistance with the financial aspects of
an ownership dispute, Asterion’s experts can help.
