Somebody once said sports reporters are the best writers because
they have to come up with new ways to tell the same basic story
over and over. If that is true, then those who cover the business
of sports may be second-best.
“Officials, Flying Squirrels in Stadium Talks” has been the story here in Richmond, Virginia for several years now. The minor-league ball club is not happy with the Diamond, the current stadium, and would like to move to a nicer facility. Several possible sites have been considered, but nothing has gelled. The team says it is committed to Richmond. Yet in the back of everyone’s mind lies the possibility that the Squirrels might grow tired of waiting and pull up stakes. After all, that’s just what the Richmond Braves did when Gwinnett, Georgia, built them a new field in Lawrenceville.
