Re: The Story of Driveball
Personally i think it is to early for Minnesota, St Louis or Los Angeles. Somewhere close to where the teams are would be a little more approppriate in my opinion. Like Philadelphia which is considerably larger than Minneapolis-St Paul and Albany at the time Plus travel costs to get to the other cities for those 3 cities i mentioned would be a nightmare.

Favorite DANA teams: Fort Wayne Appleseeds & Rochester Millers (tie)

So should Milwaukee get a team before Minnesota?
Also, here's the updated tally...
Philadelphia, Minnesota and Albany each tied at 2.

Actually, he'd already voted for Philly before...why he didn't just leave his comments in his voting post I don't know.

Re: The Story of Driveball
Name: James P. Doddington
About: Doddington was born near Indianapolis, and went to school at the University of Indiana. He is a Hoosier through and through.
Age: 47
Occupation: Owner of a chain of box stores based in Indianapolis, IN. Doddington's is your go-to store for all your household needs.
Favorite DANA teams: Fort Wayne Appleseeds
Favorite Teams: Chicago Cubs (baseball), Indianapolis Katuskys (basketball), Chicago Cardinals (football), Chicago Blackhawks (hockey)
Vote on potential Albany buyer: To quote James: "Although I like the idea of keeping the team in Albany, I believe any team will require a strong leader to guide the team going forward, or the team will continue to flounder. With all due respect to Tommy Danson, but there's no guarantee that a community owned team in Albany, run as the Green Bay Packers, will appoint the right person to run the team. Jesse Lindholm is the best choice to purchase the team. He already has the vision to use his family's fortune to move the team to the state of Minnesota and invest into making the team a success both on the field and financially."

A. Yes beacuse Minnesota's closest team is Chicago which is five hours away, plus the area had like 50,000 people back then. Milwaukee had a bigger population than Minny then. Be smart people!
B. Are you Dr Phil all of a sudden Burmy87?
