Default I love baseball.

Any other hometown ballpark experiences out there?

Since I love baseball I like your idea but ......there is just soooo much else to do in TV that I don't think a minor league team could sustain itself here.

Additionally, baseball is played during the 'slow' season for TV so less of a population to draw from.

I just wish they'd expand on the summer league that plays only 3 games in TV (college wooden bat league) ; maybe a permenant TV team - so I could catch some games on my trips there in the summer.
