2009 - AAA Ball to Gwinnett

It’s official - the AAA team is moving to Gwinnett after just one year - we’ll have baseball in 2009.  The Braves will rent a stadium from the county for $250,000 a year for 30 years beginning next year.  Gwinnett County will design and build the stadium without much input from the team.

Richmond apparently is not happy that the Braves will be departing, but they can’t do much about it and the team has been there since the 1960’s.  So, barring something crazy, we’ll have our AAA team just miles away in 2009.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Gwinnett Braves.
