Please don't beg.  And don't be choosy, either!!!!  (I should
talk.)

They only drew about 10,000 for a July 4th game.  Not too good.

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.

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.....)
