Talk:California League

Untitled
The Cal League article is perfect and observed nearly all the wikipedia rules. The information is up-to-date and accurate, and this is organized in good fashion. This calls for a "star" award, don't you think? One thing to add is the Cal League's early attempts to expand the league to 12 to 14 teams in the mid 1990's never developed. The league must play an even-numbered team schedule, and potential teams must have league standard ball parks. In the last decade, former Cal League towns like Reno, Nev., Riverside, Salinas and Palm Springs lost franchises over the stadium quality issue. Despite their teams had good attendance and success in the ticket booth, the Cal League and team owners knew the growth of the Cal League can't keep up with the demand of more fans and comfort of aging ballparks. I've contacted the Cal League h.q. myself on the issue via phone or e-mail, and they didn't call back but send an e-mail on the league dropped interest in additions or expansion in 2001. The last failed venue was the California Fall League, 1997 to 2000 with four teams in the San Bernardino area played from Sep. to Nov. I believe the strictly encoded stadium requirements had prevented future teams and this is their mistake, so these towns went for new minor leagues and collegiate play. +Mike D 26 15:06, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
