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!
