If Major League Baseball decided to add a few more teams to the American and National Leagues; what cities or areas deserve them the most? Here is a list that many argue deserve a Pro team let alone an MLB team;
Las Vegas, NV - an MLB team in Vegas? Is that cool or what?
Salt Lake City , UT - their only claim to fame is the “Real Salt Lake” MLS soccer team.
Birmingham, AL
Juneau, Alaska - team name-”The Eskimos” - they could represent Alaska and play in Montana?..nevermind scratch Alaska…
Wichita,KS
Portland, OR - a basketball city, why not baseball? Rivals could be the Mariners.
Oklahoma City,OK
Tulsa,OK - Minor League Team “Tulsa Drillers” has a great following. Closest MLB team-Texas Rangers?
Rochester, NY - Did you know? the world’s supply of “Cool Whip” is made here!
Albuquerque,NM
Louisville,KY - birthplace of the Louisville Slugger for god sakes. Give them an MLB Team!
Tucson,AZ - a great place for a thriving baseball team, however you do have the Diamondbacks!
Norfolk,VA
Hartford,CT
Providence,RI How about a team for the New England States, fans have to get tired of the Red Sox sooner or later-an no! The team can not be named the Patriots.
Omaha,NE
El Paso,TX
What about Orlando, FL ? They sure can use some more fun there.
hey col,
I agree..with Disney right there a pro stadium would be packed!
Sacramento, CA. Only instead of a new franchise, they should get the A’s when they finally decide to leave Oakland.
Sac’to has perfect Summer weather for night baseball, already has a wide media network arrangement for its NBA franchise which virtually assures the media market minimum required for success of the franchise; and if the A’s were to relocate there it would in fact retain a good measure of the team’s current fans.
OKC or Tulsa need a team. Not only does Oklahoma lack a pro baseball team, but they lack any pro sports team. OKC Redhawks are in the bricktown ballpark. It was a nice park last time I checked.
I used to watch the OKC 89ers, til they got the new field and became the Redhawks. I hope that was their name anyway, I’ve been gone a long time.
Hey Nathrat Oklahoma just got the Seattle Supersonics, Congratulations!
pffft, who cares about basketball.
