Former Reds CEO patient at Cincinnati hospital
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Former Reds controlling owner Marge Schott was hospitalized Friday, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Jewish Hospital spokeswoman Patty Holiday said she could not elaborate on Schott's condition, when she had been admitted or the reason for her hospitalization.
Schott, 73, has been patient at the Cincinnati hospital several times during the past few years. She was hospitalized twice in 2001 after complaining of breathing problems. In 1999, Schott was hospitalized with a bout of seasonal allergies, and in 1998, she underwent surgery after falling on her driveway and breaking her left hip.
Schott gave up control of the Reds in 1999 after major league baseball ordered her to sell her controlling interest in the team.
She had been disciplined twice by major league baseball for comments that were considered racially or ethnically offensive and had not been involved in the daily operation of the Reds since 1996.
Schott, a Cincinnati auto dealer, became a limited partner of the team in 1981. She bought the controlling share in 1984 and was in charge when the Reds won the 1990 World Series.
