Probably not, since it's a Usenet post, but anyway, here's what it says; "Serious to the point that Marlins officials are said to be meeting with Oklahoma City within the next two weeks to discuss what the city can offer, which would certainly include an expansion or replacement of the AT&T Bricktown Ballpark, which only seats around 13,000. Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria previously owned the Oklahoma City 89ers, and appears pretty interested in the city, given the way it has embraced the Hornets and is proving it can support major league sports. Some sources ay that IF the Marlins move, Loria's ties to Oklahoma City put OKC in the front spot, ahead of other contenters like San Antonio, Norfolk, Portland, and several Miami-area cities like Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale." (Ok.General)
MEANWHILE: Other posters are trying to come up with a better name than 'Oklahoma Marlins'. (Rec.Sport.Baseball)
THEN AGAIN: Maybe they can get a good name for the (possibly former) Nationals. (BaseballMusings)
