Lynchburg Hillcats not moving to Wilmington, NC
A plan in work to move the Lynchburg Hillcats to Wilmington, NC will not be coming to fruition since voters rejected a new stadium. The move was to take place for the 2014 season, but now looks extremely unlikely.
Hillsboro team to be known as Hops
The former Yakima Bears team that have relocated to Hillsboro, OR will be known as the Hillsboro Hops. I’m not aware of any past teams known as the Hops, but the Hopkinsville Hoppers of the Kitty League come closest. So … Continue reading
