We gave them all of our banks, which are now worthless, and our police chief, whose degree from VCU is of questionable value. Now, we may be taking away their baseball team, which I'm sure we'll find a way to make worthless. Richmond BizSense has more on the possible move of Charlotte's Triple-A baseball team to our fair city:
Balpark Digest is reporting that the Tripple A Charlotte Nights are the most likely team to move to Richmond.
According to the website, “Multiple sources in ownership ranks and the N.A. confirm the Charlotte Knights (Class AAA: International League) are first in line to claim the open Richmond market, with Ken Young and the Bowie BaySox (Class AA; Eastern League) slipping to the #2 spot. With tough times in the credit market, the escalating cost of a new ballpark in Charlotte's Uptown area and the seemingly endless legal battles, owner Don Beaver is looking at all his options -- and a potential move to Richmond is on the list."

Good thing baseball is the last thing on the mind's of most Richmonders these days.
