The team with the lowest payroll this year was in the World Series and had the best record in the Majors this year.

Giant asterisk for 2020

Last 20 years excluding 2020

  Yankees 16

  Cardinal 13

  Atlanta/LAD 11

  Oakland 10

  Boston 10

Lot of repeats there. Not sure drafting made the Yankees that great

 

 

 

Rogers is going to bulldoze the Sky Dome and build a big fancy new park on the same spot. Working with government on a plan now..... interesting, as SD isn't THAT old, but they definitely could use something a little more modern.

Would be one of the oldest still in its original form. All other parks are new or heavily renovated since then. Think only Oakland has not been renovated but they are also trying to build a new park.

30 yrs old that was built to accommodate MLB and CFL. So either sight lines are not great. Now comes the threat of give us money or we'll leave.

Globe Life Park in Arlington was replaced after 25 years of use, still being used for other sports, new one right next door cost 1.1 billion

Black Hawk was a wise and brave chief and not a racist trope, so that name will probably remain.

Keep the name (since it identifies an army regiment, and COULD also just mean a bird), change the logo. Or just go with Hawks. As for the logo, this would be quite fitting (even if it is actually an eagle) since it is already tied to the club’s history:

Me too. He was so good in NY. I wish he had won the world series (seven times for his seven years here )!

Still don't know how Goldeyes pull off this season here. Heck I don't think the CFL can either.

Something tells me that they aren't going to play here until the cases go WAY down (even though the article makes it clear that it's border related)

I'd assume the Boomers will be making more of an attempt to come out this year.
