Although I am an avid baseball fan, and beggers shouldn't be choosers I
must post this article.
The hottest rumor about Denver getting a baseball team soon is that the
Pirates could be the team. Now I have nothing against the Pirates, but
please if anyone out there in "net" land is from Pittsburgh go out and
see the Pirates so they will stay in Pittsburgh.
I can't face the thought of getting a National league team in Denver
and not being able to see the YANKEES (insert boos here). The Yankees
are THE TEAM.
So, Pittsburgh keep your Pirates, send us the Oakland A's (or any other
American League team).

They only drew about 10,000 for a July 4th game. Not too good. >I can't face the thought of getting a National league team in Denver >and not being able to see the YANKEES (insert boos here). The Yankees >are THE TEAM. I am very split on this decision. I really enjoy NL baseball more than AL. Now, if Pittsburgh was to come to Denver, that would be fine. I could see my Atlanta Braves (in person) 6 times a year. My only problem is that I would have to be hypcritical (sp) in my support for the Denver club. My #1 allegiance would have to be with the Braves, and #2 would be with the Denver team. >So, Pittsburgh keep your Pirates, send us the Oakland A's (or any other >American League team). I'm sure I would go to a lot of games if we got an NL team, but I'm not too sure if I would be that enthsiastic with an AL team. I think Oakland should stay in Oakland. (Say, what about the Giants, that would be even better--the Braves in town for 9 games.....) >A DEPRIVED BASEBALL FAN, >Lynn Kaufman >AT&TISL >Denver Colorado Another deprived fan...

It is interesting that the papers in Denver are saying the same things that they are in Washington D.C. There are rumors here that the Pittsburgh Pirates could come to Washington. There are rumors about National League expansion in Washington in 1987. > So, Pittsburgh keep your Pirates, send us the Oakland A's (or any other > American League team). > Lynn Kaufman > AT&TISL > Denver Colorado I am an avid Oakland A's fan and I dislike the idea of their relocation as much as you would probably dislike the relocation of the Yankees.

Galbreath is created one heck of a demand for his team of malcontents by bringing in not one, but two potential owners from Denver. What's the going price up to now? 50 Million? Soon a local buyer will come in... Meanwhile, King Pete keeps contradicting himself depending on who he is talking to.(Yes, we will expand, no we will not, Denver is on the list, no it is not,..etc., etc., etc...) Unfortunately, major league baseball promised a team to Denver already in the early 60's, and they have been dangling the carrot ever since. Personally, I've grown tired of it. I still have occasional relapses of "baseball withdrawel" since moving to Ft. Collins from Chicago, but it's time to put up or shut up as far as the league is concerned. Roy P.S. An American League Team? I guess I could boo the Yankees as well as the next guy.
