If it's possible to have a favorite minor league baseball team, the Tacoma Rainiers are mine. Not only was I born just outside Tacoma, they're the Triple-A affiliate of my favorite major league team. I've gone to a couple of their games since they moved out of the Tacoma Dome to an outdoor stadium.

But this… Fuuuuuuuuck. 

Singer Nick Lachey says he jumped at the opportunity to be a part owner of the Tacoma Rainiers… He says he intends to play an active role in the ownership.

Oh Lord no. He's probably just looking for a venue that can't refuse to let him sing. This will totally demean the sideshow entertainment in the minor leagues. You know, like juggling clowns and birthday announcements.
