San Antonio offers minor-league stadium, share with Mexico

Coming on the heels of yesterday's curious revelation that MLB considers San Antonio a potential permanent home for the Montreal Expos, Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff (former San Antonio mayor and author of "Baseball for Real Men") has offered the following deal: have the Expos play half their games in a converted Texas League ballpark (that'd be Nelson Wolff Stadium), the other half in Monterrey, Mexico. Wolff added: "Ten years from now, the bonds will be paid off for the arena, the population will have grown and Toyota will be well-established. Ten years from now, things may be completely different around here." Whoa, Judge Wolff! Turn off the hard sell!
