Define Successful....Glad HE was successful but the Rangers won one whole play-off game, in the only play-off appearance under Bush's Watch , while he was the Managing General Partner . But HE walked off with a ton of money. Oh, and an Eminent Domain lawsuit hanging in the breeze...that the new owner agreed to pay just to make it go away.
