COULD HUIZENGA FEED FISH TO THE MASSES?

          CNBC's Tyler Mathisen reported last night that
     "insiders say" that Marlins Owner Wayne Huizenga may be
     floating a public offering in the team "to find out how much
     his team would be worth in a stock sale" ("Business Center,"
     CNBC, 10/20).  But Huizenga told CNN/SI's Nick Charles that
     unlike with his NHL Panthers, a stock offering "can't work
     for this team."  Huizenga: "It worked for the Panthers
     because the Panthers were losing money but you could see
     light at the end of the tunnel because we were building a
     new building. ... You can't take a team public if there's no
     light at the end of the tunnel.  And there is no new
     building planned for here, so therefore there's no light at
     the end of the tunnel."  Huizenga, on a possible sale of the
     team: "We'll see. ... I've promised [the politicians and
     businessmen] that I would not make a decision until after
     this series was over" ("CNN/SI," CNN, 10/20).
