My son and daughter-in-law live in Savannah and oddly enough, I just got a picture text of them at the ballpark there during tonight's game. My wife and I attended a game there years back when the team was affiliated with the Cardinals. I hate seeing old parks go, I really do. While visiting down there a year ago I made it a point to drive by the park and stroll around. The team was on the road that day but I still wanted to get by there.

19Braves77,

As far as seeing the Giants in the SL, I wouldn't hold my breath. My wife and I drove up to Richmond for the Erie series several weeks back and they have an excellent attendance there. The park is nothing to get excited about but the fans support the team and the organization does and excellent job of promoting the team. We were there for a Saturday night DH and there were @ 8,500 fans in the house. The following day, Sunday, there were @ 6,500 fans there. That's 15K fans for two days for a AA franchise. I'd be surprised to see SF relocate but then again, you never know.
