To me I doubt anybody would agree with me on this. But how about switching the Marlins to the AL and the Devil Rays to the NL?

I know both teams are in poor shape but would these cities be different if some other teams would visit these towns.

Florida - AL East teams IMO are better suited for the South Florida market.
A. Yankees - close to a sell out i say
B. Orioles - Didnt they have a training camp close to Miami
c. Red Sox - I know there are alot of Red Sox fans in the area.
These would be good games and im sure the attendence would be better.

Tampa Bay -
A. Cardinals - used to have spring training in St. Pete
B. Cubs - always attract well on the road
c. Giants - Barry show
D. Braves - a natural rival?
E. Mets - they attract well also
F. Dodgers - see Cubs and Mets

Comments please

I posed the question to them, and they really don't mind leaving the AL.

Numbers don't lie. People do.

Would the Mets draw to Tropicana the way the Yankees do?

Not knowing too much else, it sounds like the Yankees have a long history down by the bay. From an owner's perspective, well, I tend to think this talk is off the rocker. From the fan perspective, it's a problem in trying to get support for the home team. Not an easy call.

Would it make a difference in Miami to see more of the Yankees? Probably so. Sometimes, I wonder if most everyone back east would prefer the AL, and everyone near LA wants to be in the Dodgers' division.
