Connecticut To Get A MLB Team?

by Ryan McKeen

I haven’t written about baseball on this site in a long time but this topic is too good to pass up.

There are smart people in the Major League Baseball offices wondering if there’s hope of even discussing a potential move of the Rays to New Jersey or Southern Connecticut over certain protests from the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox and Phillies.  – Peter Gammons, MLB.com 1/22/201o

With all the recent talk of a Springfield-New Haven rail line, how cool would it be to hop on a train in Hartford after work, head down to New Haven, grab some pizza, and watch the Red Sox? A man can dream.

To quote Rogers Hornsby “People ask me what I do all winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.”

Whether or not a team ever comes to Connecticut, who knows? It’s probably not going to happen and I blame the Yankees for that. For now, I’m content to read Gammons, drink coffee on a cold January morning, and stare out the window and wait for spring.
