A few years ago (before the network was available in Canada) they would air complete rebroadcasts of previous ASGs during the break. They also regularly re-aired old games during the offseason as well. This was during the time when Hazel Mae was working for the network. (I had traded for a couple games and they were from MLB-N)

Lol, Loria suing fans of marlins for refusing to pay for season tickets after fans felt marlins went back on promised perks to season ticket holders.

Really need to do this more often. Would love watching some old games again, especially condensed versions. Like final games of a world series, and even just random games of the past for nostalgic reasons.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I'm 97% sure this has been said before (even in this thread), but Manfred said today that the Top 3 cities he has in mind for expansion are Montreal, Mexico City, and Charlotte, NC.

I believe this has been stated for the last 3 years. It's nice to see that MLB isn't wavering from its long term thinking in relation to those three cities.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Charlotte is an interesting choice, as they currently have one of the best ballparks in the Minors.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Am I ignorant to think NC would be a great fit for MLB?
Naturally I want Montreal to get a team first, but NC seems like a no brainer.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Only issue is the Knights. There's not a single Major League city that also holds a Minor League team.

Does Raleigh have a Minor League team? They could always move the Knights there and make it the expansion team's affiliate.
