The U of Hawaii baseball team is in the Big West Conference and has a 4300 seat home stadium. No pro teams since the single A team left three decades ago.

Alaska and Wyoming are the two states without college baseball teams according to the interweb. So Wyoming is the answer...if they have a pro team somewhere. Casper? U of W is the only college of any level with intercollegiate athletics in the state if I'm not mistaken. I looked up Montana. Neither Montana and Montana State sponsor baseball BUT D2 Montana State-Billings does.

U of Wyoming used to be the only 4 year college in the state. There may be a second one, perhaps Catholic? The 2 year colleges do have intercollegiate athletics.

I hope the stadium is back to 100% by the time we play there following Chris Sale’s violent assault on it.

Sale should enjoy his rare pitching breaks between injuries.

Very Surprised Bishop Mc Manus is not on the board of WCC. Wyoming Catholic College has a staff of 19 and less than 200 students. No academic majors, no sports, and a "technology policy" which is better suited to the Avignon papacy: 1) no televisions on campus; (2) dorm internet access limited to school email and selected websites for class and (3) no cell-phones or handheld devices with wireless or cellular data. Alcohol is forbidden, there is a 10:30 curfew, and formal dress is required on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation. "Men are never allowed in the women’s residence halls and vice versa. There is no policy allowing visitation. Any violation of this policy entails serious consequences up to expulsion from the College." wyomingcatholic.edu/student-life/code-of-conduct/

Now you see, Sarasota, that's a "seminary!"

Sale has always been, as they say, a bit “eccentric”. Wasn’t there a story several years ago when he was with the White Sox where he took a pair of scissors to some White Sox throwback game jerseys that he didn’t like?

Was he also running with them before his destructive behavior? Better to lose a few jerseys than a life.

Sale has always been, as they say, a bit “eccentric”. Wasn’t there a story several years ago when he was with the White Sox where he took a pair of scissors to some White Sox throwback game jerseys that he didn’t like? That was in 2017. Here is what he said in apologizing: Nobody's perfect, you're going to make mistakes," he said. "All I really want to say on that is you live and you learn. I have two sons now. A 6-year-old and a 2-month-old, and I tell them, 'You're going to make mistakes, but if you learn from your mistakes, that's the key.' Everybody here has made a mistake. If you learn from it, you become a better person. If you keep making the same mistakes, you're kind of spinning your tires."
So, those kids are 11 and 5 now and he is still spinning tires. Only thing he seems to have taught them is that if you have earned $149 million over the past 11 years you can buy your way out of trouble. As a Sox fan, I appreciate the two good seasons they got out of him but I am pretty close to moving on. Signing some guys is a much bigger priority right now.

Sale’s immediate reaction after the game:
“That’s their problem for videoing it. If you want me to act like a normal person, treat me like a normal person. This isn’t a normal atmosphere. If I was at Bank of America, that wouldn’t fly.”
Sale’s comments the next day:
“I acted like an idiot last night,” said Sale. “Seven-year-old temper tantrum. It’s not something I’m proud of, not something I want to do. Stuff happens. Got to get it out.”
“It is what it is, it’s who I am. It’s what makes me a big leaguer, what makes me good at my job. Might not be good for the public eye,” said Sale. “Who’s perfect? Name him. I’d love to shake his hand.”

I do like that he thinks he would have been better off if he had a regular job. Lots of people walking around in corporate America who have an epic meltdown involving the destruction of property who are back at work the next day.

. Not sure if this qualifies as facetious or all the way to sarcastic. Knowing the industry you are in, I know that you are "jes funnin' " here. So the $64 question is, will his kids grow up to be just like him or will they watch his antics and think "I'm never going to be like THAT!"

I'm about done with the Chris Sale Experience. He's had his moments, for sure, but the franchise will go on with or without him.

Me too. Anything they get from this guy over the next few months will be a huge bonus. What is he going to do, pitch for a month and then be shut down with a sore arm. He has a terrible delivery, especially for a string bean, that is just begging for arm trouble. The huge investments in Price and Sale have turned out to be disastrous.

They let Jon Lester go at age 30 and then spent big for these two guys. Yips and all, Lester should have been a keeper.

I keep checking here for an HC football post (silly me) Could the Red Sox fans please move their concerns ?
