Its a shame the Cannons had to leave. Even more of a shame an organization like the Vipers had to take over.

what does that mean? "an organization like the vipers" I'd much rather watch the brand of baseball that the Northern League has to offer then that of affilated baseball where your stars are only making a pit stop. An At least the owners of the vipers are prepared to invest money into the stadium and team to draw fans instead of letting the condition of the park drive teams away. Growing up in a major league market and being new to the city I didn't know much about minor league baseball and am excited for the season to start. Ask the baseball fans in Winnipeg what they think about the Northern League? I'm sure they'll tell you they wouldn't trade it for affilated triple A ball. If you really were a Calgary baseball fan you'd be out enjoying baseball, not bashing a decent organization trying to give the city a brand of baseball it can support.
