Reno 911
Seems the PCL’s Tucson Sidewinders will be moving to Nevada in the near future. According to the Arizona Daily Star, the Triple-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks is expected to relocate to Reno after the 2008 season.
Attendance at Sidewinders games has been lacking. Reno, meanwhile, has a rich minor-league history — most recently in the independent Golden Baseball League and its unconventional methods of discipline.
Reno’s last entrant in affiliated ball was the Silver Sox, a Class-A club for the Oakland A’s whose final year of operation was 1992. Indy ball is great, but dangle a Triple-A team in front of a town’s face, and it’s tough to resist.
