Resolved Question: How come no cities on CA's Central Coast have minor league teams?

I'm talkin' about cities such as Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, & Salinas. I really don't want 2 hear that the beach is way more preferable then baseball (FL has beaches, 2, & ½ of the big leaguers do there spring trainin' their.} I'm in Bakersfield, about a hundred miles from the Central Coast, & we have a Class A Team. (But they will leave next year as we've been pretty indifferent about the Blaze). & the Southern ÷ teams in the California League are all in the Mojave Dessert/Inland Empire. Also, are there some on the Central Coast who are interested in having a baseball team? I'd appreci8 some answerers particularly from California & would likely award one of 'em the Best Answer. Incidentally, I myself don't really follow the Blaze as they lose quite a lot of games & it's 2 hot 2 b @ a game (which could b y the Blaze will be leavin'.) Umm, Rancho Cucamonga is one of those Southern ÷ teams I mentioned which is in the Inland Empire vicinity. As for the Northern ÷, those teams are in the Central Valley except for the San Jose Giants, the closest team 2 open water, although it's by the bay rather then the ocean. I'm also aware of the two Class AAA teams in Fresno & Sacramento. They're both in the Central Valley like 4 of the 5 Northern Div. teams. My TV can pick up a Fox affiliate from Fresno, so I've seen news on Fresno Grizzlies baseball. Their venue, I think it's called Chukchansi Park, must look more impressive & fun 2 attend than Sam Lynn (where the Blaze play) or even where the other teams such as the Nuts, Oaks, or Ports play.... read more
