random Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 according to the Washington PostMajor League Baseball's relocation committee has added officials from Mexico City, northern New Jersey, San Antonio and San Juan, Puerto Rico, to its list of delegations that will make presentations as the committee seeks to find a permanent home for the Montreal Expos in 2004, according to sources familiar with the process.That brings the total to at least eight locales that want to talk to MLB about either the Expos or other future relocations.Washington, Northern Virginia and Portland, Ore., which remain the leading contenders for the Expos, and Charlotte previously had been confirmed as being invited to meet with the committee either late next month or in March.Here are some of my ideasWashington SenatorsVirginia GeneralsSan Juan TropicsSan Antonio Chilis (as in pepper, not chili)Portland Lumber Jacks (instant nickname "Jacks") Mexico TorosNew Jersey Knights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRoberts Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 If the tream moves to NNJ, they should be entitled to the Dodgers name, as the Brooklyn Dodgers often played a few games a season in New Jersey.On second thought, I'm confused as to why Brooklyn isn't trying for a MLB team. They'd instantly be a large market team, and I know a lot of the locals would switch alligances right over to a Brooklyn team.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
