I moved to the NoVA area mid-August last year and was excited about the PNats being right there and the Squirrels being a two-hour drive away. So what happens? The PNats move to Fredericksburg, which is traffic hell, and now I won't be able to see Giants' prospects in Richmond either. I did get to see Matt Cain rehab there once, and my dad is always proud of seeing Matt Duffy there and calling him as a future major leaguer. I also missed out on Ramos in Augusta by going the year before the new stadium opened (and he was there) and in Richmond. I just want minor league ball back, even if I can't see Giants affiliates.
sad about the real possibility of no giants-affiliated minor league ball on the east coast. i doubt i'm the only one. there are thousands upon thousands of ancestral giants fans here whose connection with the big league club has been strengthened by our regular attendance of minor league games.
You and me both FS! I don't know what I'm going to do without an affiliate I can drive to -- had one for the last 20 years most of the time! Now I'm going to have to plan road trips I guess. Not quite the same!
