It seems like baseball is always in the news in Richmond.  We realize that it’s hard to keep track of all this and that the community would benefit from one information source dedicated to what they’re most interested in:  baseball in Richmond.

We will do our best to reference, link to, and provide as much original video programming as we can.  Regardless of opinion, you’ll find it here.  Let us hear from you!

If you would like to record your own comments, offer suggestions, or just sound off, post a video to YouTube and send us the link.  We’ll publish it.  If the video’s small enough, email it to us (under 20mb, please).

“I still believe that The Boulevard is the best and most convenient place for baseball to be played. I now want to see this project that we started in January through to its logical conclusion.  I call on the administration to contact Peter Kirk and ask him to come to Richmond to evaluate his plan thoroughly and see if the counties have any interest in an adaptive reuse of this site as he and his partners proposed.”
