****Team ballpark name change****

The team that resides in Hoboken will now be known as the Hoboken A's & will play their home games at Frank Sinatra Field (ie--formerly named Great America Ballpark) in downtown Hoboken along the banks of the Hudson River with views of the NYC skyline.

Hoboken A's

Here are the ballpark rule options to vote on.

Option One:

Teams/Owners must hold/remain with the SAME ballpark for 3 years (6 seasons) continuous before ANY drop, change or trade can occur with that ballpark & then can make a drop, change or trade with that ballpark ONLY between seasons 1 & 2 or during the offseason (fall/winter) after term has been met. Once a team does make a drop, change or trade the clock STARTS again new for another 3 years (6 seasons) continuous with that ballpark & so on & so forth. There would be NO resetting of the clock if this rule were to go into effect thereby allowing teams/owners to keep accrued time with their current ballparks & NOT losing that time accrued.

Option Two:

Teams/Owners must hold/remain with the SAME ballpark for 2 years (4 seasons) continuous before ANY drop, change or trade can occur with that ballpark & then can make a drop, change or trade with that ballpark ONLY between seasons 1 & 2 or during the offseason (fall/winter) after term has been met. Once a team does make a drop, change or trade the clock STARTS again new for another 2 years (4 seasons) continuous with that ballpark & so on & so forth. There would be NO resetting of the clock if this rule were to go into effect thereby allowing teams/owners to keep accrued time with their current ballparks & NOT losing that time already accrued.

Option Three:

Keep current rule with some language/wording changes so that it's cleaned up in a way so as NOT to have what recently has taken place with the same two teams trading, dropping & trading again to work around the 3 year ballpark commitment.

Option Four:

KEEP current rule in place as is.

Rick,

I don't understand your option 3. If we keep the rules the way they are, and the interpretation remains the one I described in my email as B, then what Peter and I did is completely legal and should not be forbidden. If we re word it the way you describe, then option 3 is exactly the same as option 1.

It's fine that you don't like what we did, and I'm fine with making these changes if the majority support them, but you can't just make all the options in a vote exclude it, when not everyone agrees with you.

Ted,

Being that some very questionable tactics were used regarding not the initial ballpark trade between you & Peter but definitely the second part of it regarding the dropping, picking up & trading AGAIN of ballparks by you then yes I feel the second part of this amazing trade should probably be brought to a league vote. You both have even admitted as to how it might look regarding all that was done in reference to how this rule is currently worded & how it can be looked at in different ways. So why don't we bring it to a league vote?? After you dropped STL after acquiring it in the trade is where I believe the 3 year clock was violated. That's where the vote would come into play. NOT the initial trade between both of you. Let's not play like some of us are fools on here because this trade looks like it was all done to get Peter the ballpark he so desired to help the RH batters on his team. I'll give you both credit for being CREATIVE though.

Thanx,

Rick P
