Getting real about baseball

Writing for the Richmond Times-Dispatch columnist Michael Paul Williams (is he the last of the columnists in the building?) lays it on the line -- put baseball back on The Boulevard!

Now the plan, announced Thursday, calls for Sports Backers Stadium, a soccer and track-and-field venue, to stay put amid the mixed-use development. A new Ashe Center and an indoor-outdoor tennis complex also would be built at this sports complex.

Now is the time for the developers to further amend their proposal and return baseball to North Boulevard.

As for me, I couldn't agree with Williams more on this call.
