One of the funniest women I've ever read about

This woman is fucking nuts! Granted she was old as shit and probably delusional, she was the owner for the Reds, a widow, and fucking hilarous. Just check out this little excerpt below on what she said about some her prized players.
Heaven Help Marge Schott
Rick Reilly • Sports Illustrated • May 1996
Much of Reilly's famous story paints the picture of a sad, lonely widow. Then there's this bit:

Because she's set apart from the world like that, it's no wonder Schott's political and social views have not really changed since the Edsel. Over the years she has insulted homosexuals ("Only fruits wear earrings"), blacks ("Dave is my million-dollar nigger," she said of Dave Parker, a Reds outfielder from 1984 to '87) and Jews ("He's a beady-eyed Jew," she said of Cincinnati marketing director Cal Levy, according to Unleashed, the exhaustive biography of Schott written by Mike Bass in 1993). As for Adolf Hitler, she takes a compassionate view. "He was O.K. at the beginning," she says. "He rebuilt all the roads, honey. You know that, right? He just went too far."
