Just a heads up for those who havent heard, pro baseball will be back in Ottawa in 2008 but it wont be with the internationnal league and the lynx but with the canam league which also has a franchise in quebec city and are planning on placing a team in Montreal by 2009. They are currently searching for a manager, a name and players. They will start playing at lynx stadium the 22nd of may against New Jersey.:notacrook:

Not a big baseball fan, but happy for the city and those who like the sport. Any details on the team's name, logo etc.? Is this an expansion franchise or a relocated one?

[FFX-ME]

Theres not a name yet but I have a feeling its going to be the lynx with different logo, lol. It is an expansion franchise and with its appearance the road team the greys will dissapear but Ottawa will not have their players, they are currently searching for some home talent, I'll post articles for those interrested:
