Bill Dowling, general manager of the minor-league New Britain Rock Cats, says the biggest hurdle developer John Alevizos faces with his plan to move the Montreal Expos to central Connecticut is getting the approval of 75% of MLB teams: "[George] Steinbrenner and John Henry would never approve of another major league team coming to an area where they draw a large percentage of fans." Guess that makes finding $400 million or so to buy the team and build a stadium Alevizos' second-biggest hurdle.
