Could still be a Sacramento-Tampa ALCS. Though given the records of both teams right now, that seems about as likely as a Sacramento-Tampa World Series.

Pretty crazy to think we're down to one Philadelphia Athletic (Bobby Shantz).

Wow. What a black eye for major league baseball. You'd think they'd step in at some point and try to help... which would probably make it worse.

If the article teaches anything it's that you don't have to be smart to be a billionaire. Gives me hope!

MLB taking over the Montreal Expos was a bit before my time, but at least they got Jeffrey Loria out of there.

Is a ballpark in Vegas even feasible? If you were to plan a trip there would attending a ballgame be high on your priority list?

I have never been there and have no desire to go, but don't people go to Las Vegas to gamble and see the shows? is there a large local population that would support this team?

outdoor baseball in July in Vegas, as a fan I can't think of much I'd rather do less.

Shantz is the only living player that made his debut in the 1940s
