News & Notes

Major League Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick announced the creation of his new relocation committee today. He has selected Dan Topping (NYY), Tom Yawkey (BOS), Grace Comisky (CWS), Gussie Busch (STL), Powel Crosley (CIN), Phillip Wrigley (CHC) to serve as long as necessary.

They have been given broad authority to fully investigate any plans currently under consideration for relocation. The league owners agreed unanimously last winter to freeze the current franchise locations at least until the special committee completes their report later this year.

It is unclear if any potential relocation plans will be shared with the public at some point in the future, but rumors are persisting that the Dodgers, Giants, Athletics and Senators are all looking for better financial options in the near future.
