LOL yeah. We have been looking for a Summer Collegiate Baseball Team to buy or a venue to start a new franchise for the last six or seven years. We looked at the Coastal Plaints League at first, but could never find a place to play. Upstate New York has a bunch of old minor league parks and new college ones that are empty in the summer and are now occupied by summer league teams. Many are run like minor league baseball as affordable family entertainment. Both Alyce and I want to spend the summer months in Upstate NY so we figured this would be a fun thing to do. The season is June and July, which is just perfect for us. We will stay through about the end of September and see some home games.
