Conor, that's a good idea. We could have a "league of our own" so to speak. It would help get grown men and women out of the house, and get America fit. The healthcare industry is killing us in itself, so we need to get healthy while we can. We can return baseball to what it was originally intended to be - a national way to "pass time."
Then perhaps, also, parents won't put so much pressure on their children to be superstars and the children can actually relax and enjoy the game that they are playing. They can develop a love for the game itself, not a love to please the parent because winning is everything to them. Then, by the time baseball teams become profitable again, we will have some really good players who have evolved from our young people, who we would enjoy watching as they enjoy playing the game. And having a team and/or a new stadium may be something we would consider.

I too am gonna miss this game when its gone from here. I also noticed in the paper today that Selig is predicting several teams could fold under debt even before the end of this season?!?! We need and alternative. I want baseball in Minneapolis. I want to PLAY baseball in MPLS. Could the park board organize adult baseball summer leagues in Minneapolis? With the Mpls Parkboard Fall Classic at Parade sometime in October. Casual, non-competitive, just for fun, a tie is OK kinda league? One night a week maybe, I could make time for that, I think.
