In September, we reported on a proposal by a group including former major league player (and Brave) Garry Sheffield to turn a 240 acre Pinellas County, FL landfill site into a year-round baseball training facility. As part of this proposal, the Toytown land would include a stadium suitable for Spring Training with the Atlanta Braves as tenants.
Also at that time, we noted that there were some political considerations that were directly involved.
Since that time, some things have changed… including the makeup of the St. Petersburg City Council, thanks to elections held in November.
