Rumor - Huntsville, Alabama to get a MLB team

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Word on radio here is that the Tampa Bay Rays will be moving to Huntsville next year. It's a huge snub to Birmingham, who has had several sorta pro teams move in but never been able to hang onto them.

I'm just wondering where they'll build the new stadium. Probably by the left handed smoke shifter factory.

Because today is April Fool's Day.

that they're set to break ground on a new stadium this time next year.....April 1, 2009.

But I'm pretty dang sure it's a joke. Too many holes in the story for it to be true. They're doing a decent job with it, but they're being sloppy in their implementation.

but I just don't see that happening. There's got to be a much better option that could sustain a long term professional team besides Huntsville, AL. Like say for instance, Nashville?

Edit to add: I am a dumbass for not realizing it's April Fools. It would still be pretty cool though.

Way to go, Sherlock.

What clued me in was that they said Huntsville. Oh, and that the Rays are building a brand new stadium.

people that continue the april fools tradition should be shot. wow. that was pretty clever.

I haven't been absolutely 100% sure about anything since I learned about quantum tunneling. The only way the Rays would come to Huntsville would be if every single atom were to spontaneously disappear from St. Pete and reappear in Huntsville.
