Evans: I'll take my ballpark and go home
Okay, now this is getting fun: D.C. councildude Jack Evans has upped the ante in the district's battle with Northern Virginia over the Montreal Expos, insinuating that if Virginia gets the team, he'd block it from using D.C.'s RFK Stadium on an interim basis. "There would be enough anger in the city, including my own, that the council could pass legislation that would keep a northern Virginia team out of RFK," said Evans.
Evans added that he hadn't told MLB officials this, as "that would be too much of a threat." So instead he only told a reporter for the freakin' Associated Press. Not to doubt the integrity of a servant of the people, but I've heard less overt threats in a Beenie Man song.
