Bid for Baseball Takes a Turn to the South
Washington Post Metro columnist Marc Fisher isn't impressed by Norfolk's bid for the Montreal Expos. He also has harsh words for Peter Angelos, and for MLB's relocation process:
"It should be clear by now that Selig has little interest in moving the Expos to a city where they can be loved and can make a bundle for the owners. After all, that would only give baseball a piece of the action in the most affluent and educated market in the nation, a place that already has teams in every other major professional sport."
Think the Washington/northern Virginia area is a little sensitive about this?
