Jack Nicholson Almost Owned 2 Sports Teams
JACK Nicholson once nearly owned the Bronx Bombers. “I could have bought into the Yankees for $41 million, and the Lakers for less, with a friend,” the superstar actor tells next month’s Golf Digest. “I’ve been a Yankees fan since my days as a bleacher-street kid in the ’50s. Lorne Michaels and I go to Yankee games, and Lorne wanted me to throw out the first ball at Yankee Stadium for my 70th birthday this year. That sounded fun until I started getting nervous and then completely crazy, thinking, ‘Should I try to throw a slider?’ Backed off that one, too. I’ve got my shy side.”
