The name for the (hypothetical) Indianapolis franchise has already been 
decided...the Indianapolis Arrows.  There is a large group of (potential)
investors in place, and they made a strong pitch to Ueberroth.  They will
have to build *another* new stadium, which seems kind of stupid since the
fabulous Hoosier Dome is only three or so years old...I think they built
it so it wouldn't meet Baseball guidelines on purpose, to further stimulate
the construction industry when a new one would be needed.

You can't blame them for being eager, though...the theft of the Colts brought
in a bonanza of economic stimuli.

By the way, are the Orioles looking for a new home?  I'm sure that they would
be more enthusiastically received than even the Colts were...
