Oh you are definitely correct on the Seattle front! Although there have been whispers of possible expansion within the next few years which have excited that fanbase again. There are lots of positives of the franchise model but definite weaknesses also. Relocation being one of them.

Oh and your knowledge of baseball 22 years ago is still better than mine! Didn't Madonna go with one or sing about one? That's my impressive knowledge
