[kweiss]

Since my first save file was giving me trouble, I have to start over. I tried to draft as many of the same players that I could, and I got pretty close. I hope you guys enjoy reading this.

A New Team In Baseball

It was announced today that the Austin Outlaws will enter the league as an expansion team at the start of the 2003 season. They will be added into the American League West division. So far the information on this expansion team is vague, but construction on the new stadium will begin in the near future.

Today the construction of Enzo Field was completed. This field contains all the new features included in all the modern ballparks, and is said to be a very fan friendly environment. The outfield walls are covered in ivy similar to Wrigley Field. The surface is very rich long grass that will help pitchers and infielders. Down right and left field the fences are 330 feet, and deep center is 408 feet from home plate. Enzo field will be home to 36,500 spectators for sell out crowds.
