re: For you South La, Ms, Al people, would you support a NO mlb team?

Nah, there's the one on Airline across from Zephyrs at least.

I thought the only one in south la was Houma

Dairy Queen in Houma????

The only two I knew about was the one in New Roads (long closed) and I just learned about the one in Central City months ago

I would, but the area won't. Too poor, too humid, etc.

1. There are not enough people in New Orleans to support a baseball team.

2. there are not enough white people with serious money in New Orleans to support a baseball team. too many medical, accountant, and legal people moved to BR environs after Katrina. it will never, ever happen. It is only by the grace of Stern that New Orleans even has a basketball team. Remember, the name Lakers comes from Minnesota, land of 10,000 lakes. They took the team to a bigger city. they kept the name Lakers, pissing me off eternally.
Fort Wayne Indiana, used to be home of Studebaker, and the Ft Wayne Pistons, now of Detroit.
Syracuse Nationals, now the Phillie franchise.
Rochester Royals, to Cincinnati, then to KC and I dont know which one they are now, out west?
Get it? small cities lose basketball franchises to bigger richer places with more TV sets. TV sets is #1. Its some kind of Jewish charity by Stern that New Orleans was allowed to keep their franchise.
LI Nets used to be the champs. Then after the merger, they took Dr J and gave him to Philadelphia and made the Nets move to NJ to please the NY Knicks. I am surprised Brooklyn got to have the Nets. I thought NY would be able to block it the way SF apparently is blocking the A's from building in the South Bay area.

Nola doesn't need a NBA team.

The Detroit Pistons kind of make sense though
