NEW ORLEANS - It has been a little more than a year and a half since Baby Cakes left town - takes minor league baseball with it.
And according to Washington, DC transplant David Robertshaw, it’s a long time to bring in a new team to occupy “Shrine on Airline”.
So when will New Orleans get a new baseball team?
Sports Zone overtook Robertshaw in the French Quarter for this week’s ‘Fan on the Street’, so he could ask the WGNO Sports team when they think pro-baseball will return.
While another smaller league team may not be on the immediate radar, WGNO’s Richie Mills points out that there are quite a few quality options to satisfy the needs of local fastball fans in what he calls a “baseball-rich community.”
