Frank McCourt has finally agreed to sell the Dodgers according to The Times, he has abruptly surrendered the team after fighting to retain it for what seems like an eternity, a little over two years to be somewhat more precise. Frank McCourt and MLB commissioner Bud Selig have agreed to seek approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for an auction of the Dodgers. The sale is expected to include the team, Dodger Stadium and the surrounding parking lots, a package bought by McCourt for $421 million in 2004 and will likely sell close to three times that now, which is estimated to be over (queue Dr. Evil) one billion dollars.

Frank McCourt Agrees To Sell The Dodgers At Auction
Per Bill Shaikin on Twitter. It's hard, now, to come up with the right words to express what this means to me, but it's a happy day, tempered with the knowledge that once I was pleased to see Fox sell, too.
