ST. LOUIS -- With the resounding success of the Front Office Offseason League, cities around the country are starting to take notice. The two-time defending FOOL Classic Champions are preparing for their 5th Straight FOOL Classic and third straight title next week. But people around the city can't stop talking about the possibility that the team might be sold and moved.
Last season, ownership tried to sell the club unsuccessfully, citing a desire to take on "other" pursuits. After the sale fell through, ownership continued to run the team, leading to another successful campaign in 1965.
But now, there are more whispers than ever, that the team might be headed for greener pastures out west.
Among those interested in the team are rumored to be Los Angeles and Seattle. Ownership has grown irate at the size of Union Pacific Park and are looking for a larger ballpark that can accommodate more fans.
No news has been reported about a possible sale, but fans in the city are getting squeamish at the thought of losing their beloved Terriers. "This is our team," said one fan.
