TRIPLE-A WORLD SERIES LOOKS FOR NEUTRAL SITE AND TV DEAL
Published February 2, 1998
Plans are in the works for a Triple-A World Series
matching the champions from the Int'l League and the PCL at
a neutral site, according to the Providence JOURNAL-
BULLETIN. The first series will be held this year sometime
in the middle of September. Int'l League President Randy
Mobley: "We want the neutral site in order to sell the event
year 'round, market it and get the TV locked up. We still
have work to be done with [MLB], some sponsorship work and a
little television work." Leading neutral-site candidates
include Las Vegas and New Orleans (JOURNAL-BULLETIN, 1/31).
