And while we’re on the subject of IL franchises…..

It appears that Ottawa will not miss a beat in the world of professional baseball. In 2008 a yet unnamed club will join the Can-Am League playing their games at Ottawa Stadium (nee Lynx Stadium, Jetform Park).
The Can-Am League is an eight club independent pro baseball league with franchises in Quebec, Worcester, Nashua, Atlantic City, Brockton(MA), Sussex County(NJ), and Montclair(NJ) along with its newest member. The league has been in operation since 1995 under various names. From 1995-1998 and 2003-4 it was known as the Northeast League, and in between was the Eastern Conference of the Northern League. It has held its current name since 2005.
On a totally trivial note: The 1997 League Champions! The bestestest baseball team EVER!!!
