      <![CDATA[This is America: Inane commercialism for the (less than sophisticated) masses is what we are all about! Still, you can find many worse examples than a minor-league baseball game--the sport IS fairly tedious to watch.

      <![CDATA[As far as I can tell part of the Squirrels success here has been due to their openness to the opinions and suggestion of their fans. If the fans were vocalizing disgust or simply not attending I get the impression the ownership would listen.

 Check the record: The Richmond Braves drew well over 500,000 several seasons - minus Goofy as the cleanup hitter.

      <![CDATA[Lemme guess Mr. Crawford, you enjoyed crowds of 2,500 at The Diamond because you could park next to the "jewel" of a stadium and get in and out without any problems, bring your own peanuts, not spend any money, etc. If that's what you want, Single-A Baseball will be here soon enough if RVA doesn't commit to build a new stadium. Baseball is a business and has been for a long time.

Those of us who enjoy baseball without the distractions may be able to get a fix at a VCU game or a UR game. But I'm sorry to report that U.Va. games now feature dizzy bat races, etc. And lethal PA-system volume levels have been a problem at Davenport Field (aka The Ted) for years.<br>

      <![CDATA[The kind of baseball that the author describes is what, in part, killed the Braves in Richmond--because no went to baseball. Minor league players are not known, usually not the best baseball and only survives when owners inject other "entertainment" at the game.
