Fussbol Cincinnati .....Fußball, FCC of Major League Soccer

Fußball Cincinnati
Or can I say Fußball Zincinnati?

MLS in 2019.  Playing at the Nip Nip Nippert still until the new stadium is built on the West End (of downtown).

Chicken dance time downtown.  The German Heritage of the majority of ol' German and Irish ties.  Cincinnati:  the first major "purely American" city, inland and born after the Revolution, with many revolutionaries starting their new life and finishing their life in town.

I scoped a little while ago that my Cinci was changing some of it's street names back to the German ones, with the whole shameful side of World War II wearing off a bit with time.  Cinci Toyotas

London LaBatts. LaBatt Blues Baseball

The oldest continually operating baseball grounds is in London, Ontario.
It's closer to Michigan than it is Toronto.  But as you can check out in the wikipedia link below, it has a long history indeed.




I would like even more exposure for it, perhaps in some sort of new and more robust Canadian league of ball, like my fictionalized rookie league (Rookie-Advanced).

G-League Team called Oakland Bridge

Have to jump that bridge to watch the Warriors play yay yay.




I like that name over something like California Twins

Would NHL grow the game much faster with Youth Academies?

........especially as with the Urban Youth Academies of major league baseball?

I've scoped Snoop Dog and Little John promotions.  But how much can one care if they can't play?  I remember the Might Ducks movie, new team, and new AHL Cincinnati Mighty Ducks affiliate inspiring some kids to purchase roller skates and flock around.  But it didn't stick in the streets.  It's not that Southie southern of a thing yet.  But it could be.

Another question to ponder:  Would colleges stand to recruit a more "progressively" diverse community if they ran youth programs that could serve as feeder systems to their own programs, or other division schools?

Question:  Is that netting like a sail to come up and down for precipitation?

Lame or Plain Names ?

Recently did a post with 10 new MLB expansion teams (of the future) with some envisioned farm team counterparts, seen here:  Is this my Minor League Expansion ?

Lifestyles, jobs, beings and used-sports names.  The trees and critters.  Lakers are fish.  Expos are legacy.  Galaxies are abound.  Alliteration.


minorleagueball.com overcrowded-minor-league-positions-ten-clubs-brimming-with-talent

Did more expansions including the names of Riverwhales, Bisons, Mounties and Knights, with only that first one assigned to Sacramento sounding unique.  Perhaps the Capitol City California squad could be called the Talls?

Interleague Play between AAA and AA Farm Squads

Ocean (AAA) and New Mexican (AA) inter-league play
-Let's just see how good the talent is --- a barometer
for quality of play and Expansion

Though a little crude, my thought is not unshared-  Triple-A is where some high caliber talent goes to ride off into the sunset, and many next level guys are bursting at the seams to get to the big leagues.  That is to say that there are some high caliber players at the third tier down in fact ready or on the cusp for a shot.  Not many younger young guys at Triple-A,.... well not as many as at AA.  

For different reasons of convenience like geography, some rehab assignments are held at one level of the farm teams or another by disabled Major Leaguers.  But a lot of call-ups happen from the 'Trip-A team to the bigs.  In theory, AAA is on deck for the majors.  From time to time, perhaps more often than already occurs, shouldn't more interplay from the different tiers occur during regular season minor league play?

I don't think it's a bad idea by the time my fictionally created minor leagues (as seen on this blog): 

Tiers of Minor League Expansion

....by the time the league expands into the ballpark of 40 or more Teams in the MLB.

Inter-league games between both Rookie and A-ball levels would be neat too.  Rookie v. Rookie-advance and A versus A-advanced.

Tiers of Minor League Expansion

Should more teams be added to the respective 6 MiLB affiliated league levels for the farm systems below?  Or should there be geographic expansion?  With this "if", I've highlighted some imaginary/envisioned leagues.  Click on them
