Didnt they used to play here?
No. That was the Grijalva Gophers that used to play here.
Ted, Is that because gophers dig a hole and then move on, leaving the owners with a mess, much like Raul?
Yes, they used to do Spring Training in Tucson, at the fields at TEP. Sadly, attendance was too low and so they moved to Scottsdale.
Pretty much the same thing that you do in a comment thread, right Wayne Olson?
What’s the matter little waynie? Is the truth too hard to handle? You should get together with wimpy boy CW13. The two of you can bond over your wimpyness (wimpiness?) and your misguided tRump love.
