MountainStar Sports announced yesterday that they purchased the San Diego Padres Triple A baseball team, the Tucson Padres. Triple A ball will be played in El Paso starting in the 2014 season, so now we need to come up with a name. Tell us what you think it should be...
Earlier this morning, I posted a blog about Triple A baseball coming to El Paso - City Council has voted to build a 50 million dollar ballpark to house a baseball team, and even thought there are a couple of legal challenges to that vote, we now know that WE HAVE A TRIPLE A BASEBALL TEAM!!!!
I was at El Paso City Council yesterday for most of the public comments, and even had a crack at the podium myself. So, did I crack open the champagne last night? Nope. Not yet. I'm still waiting on the Mayor to decide which way he is going to vote!
I'm all for the Downtown Ballpark. I know, I'm telling you something you didn't already know. I've not had any opinion for or against it. HA! I crack me up!
So much has been written about the Triple A baseball coming to El Paso. Hopefully, this will quiet some of the ugliness surrounding baseball in the Sun City.
The arrival of Triple A baseball has kind of been like the arrival of a baby. A lot of waiting for a while, then fast and furious action right at the end!
