The impression one gets of Lew Wolff overall — if you can get a meaningful impression from a transcription of an interview, especially one that the subject himself requested — is of a longtime power broker who is frustrated at not having the financial resources that the other MLB teams have at their disposal, and genuinely doesn't see why he's the only guy who's having such trouble getting a stadium built. It's hard not to sympathize with that — and yet, the argument still ultimately comes down to "all the other kids on the block are getting one, so I should too."
