My town is currently debating giving a bunch of money to the baseball team to pay for the stadium they are using. I doubt it will happen. They'll probably move to Winnipeg.

AAA. Reno Aces (http://www.milb.com/index.jsp?sid=t2310). The Diamondbacks' AAA team. They are in the PCL. And good. AAA national champions this year actually.
