San Jose Group to Begin Pursuing Major League Team
The San Jose Mercury News reports the formation of a local group called "Baseball San Jose," formed for the purpose of attracting a major league team. Its two-part strategy: to remind MLB that San Jose is actually the largest city in the Bay Area, and to persuade MLB to change its territorial restrictions to allow the Oakland Athletics, or another team if Oakland moves out of the market, to play in San Jose. San Jose is currently considered Giants territory by MLB.
