			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is just a rumor, and I was unable to find out whether there is any validity to this. The same comment was left on a post over at the Rangers Blog on Dallas News. Although if this were true, I would certainly be happy, The Rangers would still be run by Nolan Ryan and Tom Hicks would be replaced by Exxon Mobil.</p>
<p>However until anything substantial comes out in the most likely scenario is Tom Hicks holding on to a stake in the team and rounding up some investors to purchase portions of the team. This will help Tom Hicks out, but is not the best solution for the baseball club, because Tom Hicks will still act as the majority owner with silent partners.</p>
<p>If Exxon Mobil or another company or person were to purchase the <a href="http://www.dallassportsfans.com/category/texas-rangers/"title="Texas Rangers Current Articles" >Texas Rangers</a>, the team could move on from one of the worst owners in baseball. When Hicks first purchased the club he signed A-Rod and threw money at this thing without a plan, and finally with Nolan Ryan in the drivers seat the mess has been cleaned up. So Tom please sell the team.</p>
<p>Here is the comment from one of our old posts about <a href="http://www.dallassportsfans.com/the-impact-of-tom-hicks-financial-struggles/" target="_blank" title="The Impact of Tom Hicks' Financial Struggles">Tom Hicks money problems</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
ATTENTION ALL RANGERS FANS!!!</p>
<p>Your White Knight has arrived, ExxonMobil Oil Company of Irving Texas, to buy out Tom Hicks and take control of the Texas Rangers Baseball Club with a $**700,000,000** purchase.</p>
<p>Nolan Ryan would join the Board of Directors of ExxonMobil, would receive 5% ownership of the Rangers, and, most importantly, would be the ‘Control’ owner of the Texas Rangers Baseball Club.</p>
<p>ExxonMobil would hold 95% ownership and act as a silent partner and investment banker for the Rangers.</p>
<p>Bud Selig would bless this transaction by awarding the rights to host the 2012 MLB All-Star Game to the Texas Rangers.</p>
<p>And they lived happily ever after….Except for one thing.</p>
<p>This deal WILL NOT HAPPEN if you sit on your hands and remain silent.</p>
<p>All YOU have to do to make the dream a reality is to phone, fax, write, e-mail, and demonstrate [in front of ExxonMobil corporate HQ in Irving Texas if need be] to ExxonMobil and tell them to underwrite this deal.</p>
<p>WE NEED TO HEAR YOU NOW RANGERS FANS!!!!</p>
<p>MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD…CONTACT EXXONMOBIL TODAY!!!!
</p></blockquote>
