It happened last year.

Chuck Lamson became a minority owner when Went Hubbard sold him some shares instead of bonuses. Chuck then helped negotiate the new ballpark.

After it was all complete, Mr. Hubbard bought back his shares and gave control of the team to his two sons. I watched a game last Thursday in the owner's nox and had a nice chance to talk to the two sons. They were both very high on Tulsa and committed to making the Drillers a quality, family success.
