D.C. Baseball Update


At a rally outside the Arlington County Courthouse, about 200 protesters shouted and stamped their feet in vain trying to convince the County Board to change their mind about building a Baseball stadium for the Montreal Expos somewhere inside the county. Brought along for the protest was the "NIMBY" Chicken, the unofficial mascot of the protest. Its appearance would have been appropriate, but with one important change: the chicken should have arrived with its head cut off. That would have been the perfect symbol for the effort to bring Baseball to Northern Virginia -- plenty of meaningless activity that's going to end to no effect sooner or later.
