Reblogged from fredericksburg.com.I think minor league baseball is great for communities.  They add to a regional identification, great for families and usually cheaper than a night out at the movies.  I just don't know if the investment of a new stadium is worth it.  The price tag is pretty hefty.  From the public's reaction at...
