Ouch, Rapster!

Fir folks that ain't had baseball in so long you can bet the farm that folks would be happy to jusr sit in the stadium. watch the players flex, swing bats and play catch. Oh, the sweet smell of the hot dogs, spilled beer and cigar smoke, and a mascot parading around!

We'll take it! And we will come. Heck, thousands of SC'er get in their cars and travel to Baltimore for each home game and Baltimore hasn't had a decent team in 10 years. Yet, we go because we love baseball...

Like I said, if DC get ripped off again, I will be real steamed. Hey, if there was another good market out there it would be different but DC is head and shoulers above the rest of the cities being considered. Richmond already has a team, the Braves, which is a fram team of the Atlanta Braves and they only draw 2000 a game so what makes Bud Selig think that Richmond will put 10,000 in the seats for yer another team?

Pudunk is outta the running because they can't even get the Podunk High players to their own games and frequently play with only 8 or 9 players...
