I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets the requirements to become a featured list. I have made improvements to the list as suggested when it was previously nominated for FL status. NatureBoyMD (talk) 18:50, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments from ChrisTheDude
- "After the 1992 baseball season, Charlotte, North Carolina, home of the Double-A Southern League's Charlotte Knights, acquired a Triple-A expansion team in the International League, leaving the Double-A Knights in need of a new home. Larry Schmittou, owner of the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, offered Herschel Greer Stadium as a temporary home for the displaced team. The Triple-A Charlotte Knights retained the legacy of the Double-A franchise that preceded it, and a new history was established for the Xpress." - this is very unclear to me, especially the sudden introduction of the Xpress name. Is it saying that there was an existing (AA) team called the Charlotte Knights, which moved to Nashville and became the Xpress, while a brand new (AAA) team was formed, which inherited the history of the former AA team despite not technically being the same team? If that is the case, I would amend it to something like "After the 1992 baseball season, Charlotte, North Carolina, home of the Double-A Southern League's Charlotte Knights, acquired a Triple-A expansion team in the International League, leaving the Double-A Knights in need of a new home. Larry Schmittou, owner of the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, offered Herschel Greer Stadium as a temporary home for the displaced team, and the team relocated to Nashville and became the Nashville Xpress. The new Triple-A team in Charlotte inherited the Knights name and the legacy of the Double-A franchise that preceded it, while the Xpress were treated as new team with no previous history."
