Get excited: Spring training baseball could become a reality in John Prince Park*

Below is an excerpt from the text of the news segment by NBC5/WPTV's Alex Hagan from yesterday (3/27):

     "Palm Beach County will be home to four teams soon. The Marlins and Cardinals are already at Roger Dean stadium in Jupiter. The Nationals and Astros join them in 2017 at their new West Palm Beach facility.
     The Mets are also nearby in Port Saint Lucie.
     'Getting a 6th team within the area which tees us up,' says County Vice Mayor Hal Valeche, who hosted Braves executives last week.
     The key question is payment, and county leaders say a bed tax revenue could be an option.
     'Which is paid not really by local taxpayers. It's paid by tourists,' says Valeche.
     The Braves' spring training home was in West Palm Beach from 1963–1997 before they relocated to Orlando."

The video of the news segment: *Hopefully the Braves baseball organization will understand how much grassroots support there is for a Spring Training facility at John Prince Park. Possibly this blog post went some way in clueing them in on the "lay of the land" so to speak.
