  1. Interesting to read Mike Harrington’s story about the ‘Battle of the Lakes’ exhibition at War Memorial in ‘87. Great time to be a baseball fan in WNY.  Ton of Braves, Blue Jays, Yankees and Mets games were on TV. Bisons games during the last days at the Rock Pile and the first years at Pilot Field were a blast.  And a Major League Baseball team in town seemed like a very real possibility.  

  2. Sounds like Nationals want no part in traveling to Miami.  Pause to the season seems a given with cancellation not far behind.  If a professional sports league cannot succeed, how do college sports succeed?  Perhaps high school sports will work because avarice won’t drive the conversation.

    As a Boston resident you are disqualified from all discussions.  I moved away from that cesspool but I'm still disqualified from at least half of all discussion.

    Ha!  Parents still live in WNY, and I detest Pats and Bruins.  Does that re-qualify me?

  4. I would venture that several members of this board currently live out of 716.  That shouldn’t preclude commentary on the benefits of MLB games in Buffalo.  Without question, the value appears to be diminishing.  Indeed, the issue may be moot within a week.  Nevertheless, current state of residence shouldn’t be a disqualifier to engaging in discussion concerning the merits. And I say that as a Boston resident who quivers at the thought of a mass influx of college students within the month.

  5. It is perhaps trite, but I am thankful there are others along for the ride.  Unfortunately, tonight’s feeling is all too familiar.  But, just like Charlie Brown, many of us will be right back in there in September.
