    I haven’t seen anyone talk about the potential of Indy getting (stealing/grabbing a hold of?) a Major League team. If Fort Wayne were in the farm system of that team that would make baseball in FW much more attractive. Are the odds for something like that happening even on the map? Above or below 5% within 5 years?

    Mike- While I think a lot of people would be in favor of Indy getting an MLB team, it is doubtful. I have not heard of any efforts in years. Couple that with the fact that it is so close to two teams in Chicago, one in Detroit and one in Cincinnati, there might be territorial issues from too many owners to get approval for an Indy franchise even if there were. That said, I sould be in favor of it. :)
