The page for Baseball returning in the Nation's Capital! May it be double A, triple A. Even Single A! Ottawa has a large stadium ready for use.
The city of Ottawa is a great spot for minor league baseball! All it needs is the right people involved to get it started. The Ottawa Champions are nice, but they are just place holders in the grand scheme of things.

"But Gordon Hendren, president of Charlton Strategic Research Inc., a Toronto-based firm that studies the business of sport, said Canadian participation in baseball fell 45 per cent in the nine years leading up to 2004-05.
Meanwhile participation in soccer jumped 19 per cent, and that has changed politicians' decisions about which sport to support.
"You're going to be thinking more about soccer than you're going to be thinking about baseball," Hendren said, adding that U.S. cities have been more aggressive in developing baseball clubs than Canadian ones."
It's almost like the MLB neglecting/ downright ignoring the sport in Canada hurt it's chances of baseball being successful up north.
Hopefully with the Jays revival we can see pro baseball back up north even if it just means a new Canadian minor league could form. Canadian baseball exists outside of just Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto eh!
Fans say goodbye to Canada's last triple-A baseball team More than 7,000 people turned out Monday to watch the Ottawa Lynx play what was likely the team's final nine innings before it is expected to move to the U.S.
