There used to be an A-ball team in Alexandria, VA, called the Dukes. Pirates organization. The field was practically next door to the sewage treatment plant.

They became a Yankees franchise and moved down south to Prince William county. The PW Yankees became the Cannons.

Now they are a farm team for the Washingon Nationals and are called the Potomac Nationals - the P-nats.

Their ballpark is very convenient to Interstate 95 in Woodbridge.

Thanks everyone. I've been away from the board for six weeks. Surgery on my ankle meant no going up and down stairs to the computer. Nice to come back and find more helpful replies.

Our plans have changed. Now we'll be looking for teams in eastern Nevada, nothern Arizona,and southern New Mexico. Any ideas for that route?

Albuquerque has a wonderful park and terrific team - The Isotopes. You have to go! You won't be dissappointed.

The view of the Sandia Mountains from the stadium is awesome and the food is good too.

The name of the team comes from an episode of the Simpsons where Homers favorite team moves to ABQ and is called the Isotopes.

They are the farm team for the Florida Marlins.

ABQ has had a professional baseball team since 1880!!
