Abstract: Abstract To pursue and own a Major League Baseball (MLB) expansion franchise, Blockbuster Entertainment Corporation’s chief executive officer H. Wayne Huizenga formed a syndicate during early 1990 and purchased 50 % of Joe Robbie Stadium (JRS) and 15 % of the National Football League (NFL) Miami Dolphins. Then, in September, a National League (NL) expansion committee heard presentations from three South Florida groups and one from the Miami Beacon Council. Three months later, the NL revealed six possible expansion sites. In no specific order, those were South Florida, Tampa-St. Petersburg, Orlando, Denver, Buffalo, and Washington, DC.
