Parkersburg interested in return to Frontier League

Officials from Parkersburg, W. Va., were in Washington Wednesday to check out Consol Energy Park and reportedly met today with Frontier League commissioner Bill Lee to gauge the possibility of building a ballpark for a FL team.

Parkersburg was a charter member of the Frontier League and home to the original Ohio Valley Redcoats, who played from 1993 through 1998.

Here are links to two stories about Parkersburg's interest in returning to the league. The most interesting part of the two stories is the photo of the Ohio Valley College baseball team practicing on Bennett Stump Field, where the Redcoats played. You can see just how far the Frontier League has grown from its early years.

Read the first story here.

Hey crap maker.
It is about time the Wild Things play some team close to them.
I think the long bus trips wear the player out.
It seems to further other teams head west, the worst the Wild Things record becomes.
This has almost become the midwest league not the Frontier League.

What are you talking about? Did you mean the worse the Wild Things record becomes?

Yes I went to school in Pa.
In fact Canon Mac.
However I did not take typing.
I took college prep and earned my degree is business management.
Yes, I feel the more the Frontier League heads west, the worse the Things record becomes. It would be nice to have a eastern division that was truly in the eastern half of the league and have all teams on an equal travel basis. It would also save money on bus expense.
Make sense?
PS-Chris is there any way of having spell check on the blog?

What? You want to see the same teams all season long? Phooey. Nix.
Nata. Nope. Never.
If the WT can't afford to pay for a bus after all the money they have been spending, then perhaps they should close their doors now because there is no point in carrying on.

Disa,
How about writing your thoughts in Word and using the spell checker there? All you would need to do is copy and paste. It isn’t much good for grammar, though it can be of some help.
But, on he other hand, I don’t think a lot of us care about spelling except the supposed intellectuals among us. Not too many of those!
