They only drew about 10,000 for a July 4th game. Not too good. >I can't face the thought of getting a National league team in Denver >and not being able to see the YANKEES (insert boos here). The Yankees >are THE TEAM. I am very split on this decision. I really enjoy NL baseball more than AL. Now, if Pittsburgh was to come to Denver, that would be fine. I could see my Atlanta Braves (in person) 6 times a year. My only problem is that I would have to be hypcritical (sp) in my support for the Denver club. My #1 allegiance would have to be with the Braves, and #2 would be with the Denver team. >So, Pittsburgh keep your Pirates, send us the Oakland A's (or any other >American League team). I'm sure I would go to a lot of games if we got an NL team, but I'm not too sure if I would be that enthsiastic with an AL team. I think Oakland should stay in Oakland. (Say, what about the Giants, that would be even better--the Braves in town for 9 games.....) >A DEPRIVED BASEBALL FAN, >Lynn Kaufman >AT&TISL >Denver Colorado Another deprived fan...
