Schott was known for not wanting to hire scouts, stating that "All they do is sit around and watch ball games,"[REF] and wanting not to post scores of other games on the Riverfront Stadium scoreboard (the cost of this service was $350/month).
On April 20, 1999, Schott agreed to sell her controlling interest in the Reds for $67 million to a group led by Cincinnati businessman Carl Lindner.
