Jim Fainter Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 There were threats made years ago about moving the Sox before the new park was built. Then Seattle almost moved there. Finally it got the expansion team. Now there are threats to contract the franchise, but it will never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 the ball park was built without a team, it was an attempt to steal a team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
