I also heard that if they don't put Turner's name somewhere that we might not have the Braves in Atlanta anymore etc. --- FLAME v1.1 * Origin: Inner Sanctum - Full Internet Svc (813) 848-6055 (1:3619/21) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 234 BASEBALL Ref: DET00002 Date: 10/22/96 From: JENNIFER MARLOWE Time: 08:53pm \/To: JAMES DUNLOP (Read 2 times) Subj: NAME'S OF STADIUMS > It sounds better than Pro Player Stadium. that's true > > I actually liked the Thunderdome name.

Or that a > team in California nearly moved to Washington, D.C.? I knew that Tampa got the team a few years ago. Also at that time when I found out that they were in the AL I was upset cause I was really into the Atlanta Braves (before the strike) (I still do like them) but, I guess I was hoping that I could travel only 45 miles to see them play. Atlanta is just as far from my house as Miami is. --- FLAME v1.1 * Origin: Inner Sanctum - Full Internet Svc (813) 848-6055 (1:3619/21) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 234 BASEBALL Ref: DET00006 Date: 10/23/96 From: ED GRINNELL Time: 08:16am \/To: PAUL SEPPALA (Read 2 times) Subj: Inter-league play Paul was waived by Sparky Anderson and then ranted: PS> But interleague play will make it worse. No issue with your critique of PS> the MVP but they do get a deserving winner more often than not. Some years they have a candidate that's so far ahead of everyone that they can't possibly overlook him. I have a hard time seeing an MVP coming from a last place team (I simply don't buy any argument that without him, they'd have finished in AAA like one person said of Ripken after he won it a few years ago. They finished badly without him so how much lower could they go). --- TrekEd 1.00 * Origin: Where did you go, Joe Charboneau?
