They’re going somewhere

I think Vegas is a little hot unless they build a dome

A move from Oakland to anywhere seems like a good move.

You can almost see home plate from there. Is that where the ump calls balls and strikes?

I guess so haven’t been able to see if there is still batting practice or if the game is actually on. And what is a umpire?

Their stadium also has nearly twice the total foul area as any other park. If you're not in the first 10-15 rows of seats, you might as well be in the mezzanine at another park.

Next up... Tampa. To Charlotte or Nashville?

Miami needs to move but they're stuck with the lease. Think Oakland 25 yrs ago
