re: MLB Thread 8/8 to 8/14

The festivities Thursday night will have to hold fans of the event over for at least two years, as the game apparently won't be returning in 2023. Baseball Hall of Famer Frank Thomas, part of the complex's ownership group, told the Des Monies Register that construction will mean no 2023 MLB event.

"It's a lot going on," Thomas said. "They don't want to come back if the stadium's not prepared."

Thomas is referring to plans at the site to put in youth baseball and softball complexes. Construction is slated to begin this year, which means it'll be ongoing next season and MLB apparently doesn't want to deal with having a game while that is happening.
