New ST Baseball Complex Suggested For Marana Just North Of Tucson

There is hope that this idea will attract teams from Florida. It may be a case of too little too late but that remains to be seen. I'm sure not holding my breath.

Murton Reaching Comfort Zone With Rockies

For those of you who are following the career of our old friend Matt Murton, I thought I'd post this nice article from the Arizona Daily Star. I'm pulling for him to do well for them.

Due to widening construction of I-10 as you approach downtown Tucson and the normal offramps to Hi Corbett (Broadway or 22nd St.), I suggest you get off at Prince Rd. All offramps after Prince Rd. are closed.

When you exit Prince Rd. turn left (East) and go approximately 4 to 5 miles to Country Club Rd. Turn right (South) and go approx. 3 to 4 miles to Broadway. Turn left (East) and the first light is Randolf Way. You can turn right on Randolf Way to Hi Corbett and try to park in the lot or instead of turning right look to your left and you will see El Con Mall. You can park at the mall and walk to Hi Corbett (It's about a 1/2 mile walk). If you do not want to walk, you can park in the northeast corner of the mall and a bus (for free) will take you to the park and will bring you back at the end of the game.

Hope to see you at the game. I will be wearing my Bleed Cubbie Blue shirt.

For those of you who are interested in the ongoing saga of spring training in Tucson, here is the latest.

D'backs, Rockies looking to move from Tucson ST

Here is a link to the Arizona Daily Star http://www.azstarnet.com/metro/268050

There was a discussion on this in another post the other day and so I thought I'd post an update here. With the $5 million settlement between the Sox and Pima County to allow the Sox to break their contract, has triggered the "out" clause in the Rockies and D'backs contracts.

I sure hope the county can persuade another team to come here so the Rockies and D'backs won't leave but I really doubt that will happen. Looks like spring training will cease to exist here in a few years.
