Oh, this is sweet—MLB has given
the Tampa Bay Rays permission to look into the possibility of playing some of
their games in Montreal, former home of the Expos-now-Nationals. Rumor has it the team could split its home
schedule between the two cities. Won’t
players and coaches just love having to rent two apartments instead of one?
Back in the late 1980s when they
held up the Illinois General Assembly for a publicly-financed stadium, the
White Sox let it be known they’d move to Tampa if they didn’t get what the
wanted. If I recall correctly, the team
even lent a front-office person to advise the folks in Florida on the
construction of what is now called Tropicana Field, a dump by any other name.
So, I’m the fan of the MLB team
that encouraged Tampa-St.Pete to build a stadium another MLB team desperately
wants to leave. I’m so proud.
