Warren Buffett Finds 'Sweet Spot,' Hits Home Run With Stake In Major League Baseball Team
Legendary investor Warren Buffett is known for many investments over the years, including a sizable stake in technology giant Apple Inc.
傳奇投資者沃倫·巴菲特多年來以許多投資而聞名，包括持有科技巨頭蘋果公司的大量股份。
A lover of baseball, Buffett now holds a stake in a publicly traded Major League Baseball team.
作爲棒球愛好者，巴菲特現在持有一支上市的美國職棒大聯盟球隊的股份。
What Happened: A new quarterly filing from Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:BRK)(NYSE:BRK) revealed a new stock position for the Buffett-led company.
發生了什麼：伯克希爾·哈撒韋公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：BRK）（紐約證券交易所代碼：BRK）發佈的新季度文件顯示，這家由巴菲特領導的公司有了新的股票頭寸。
Among the new stakes revealed in the third quarter was Berkshire Hathaway owning 223,645 shares of publicly traded Atlanta Braves Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:BATRA)(NASDAQ:BATRK), which has two classes of shares.
第三季度公佈的新股份包括伯克希爾·哈撒韋公司擁有上市的亞特蘭大勇士控股公司（納斯達克股票代碼：BATRA）（納斯達克股票代碼：BATRK）的223,645股股票，該公司有兩類股票。
The new position comes thanks to a stake in the baseball team being distributed to shareholders of Liberty Formula One Group, one of the existing positions of the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio. In upcoming quarters, observers will watch to see if Buffett maintains his stake in the baseball team, increases his investment, or decides to sell it.
新職位的出現要歸功於將棒球隊的股份分配給了Liberty Fone Group的股東，該集團是伯克希爾·哈撒韋投資組合的現有職位之一。在接下來的幾個季度中，觀察者將觀察巴菲特是否保留其在棒球隊的股份、增加投資或決定將其出售。
The stake in the Atlanta Braves holding company was valued at around $8 million at the time of the filing.
提交文件時，亞特蘭大勇士隊控股公司的股份價值約爲800萬美元。
The Braves are one of the few publicly traded sports teams. The team won the 2021 World Series, its first MLB title since 1995. The Braves had the best record in MLB in 2023 at 104-58, but had an early exit in the MLB Playoffs for a second straight season.
勇士隊是爲數不多的上市運動隊之一。這支球隊贏得了2021年世界大賽冠軍，這是自1995年以來的第一個美國職業棒球大聯盟冠軍。勇士隊在2023年創下了美國職業棒球大聯盟的最佳戰績，爲104-58，但連續第二個賽季提前退出美國職業棒球大聯盟季後賽。
The Atlanta team has made the MLB Playoffs in six straight seasons. On the DraftKings sportsbook, the Braves are listed as the favorite to win the 2024 World Series, with odds of +700.
