New Britain Rock Cats

http://cptv.vo.llnwd.net/o2/ypmwebcontent/Tucker/Where%20We%20Live%2004-10-2012%20seg%20C.mp3

Ten years ago, there were three AA-level Minor League Baseball teams in Connecticut. Today, only one remains. The Rock Cats just started its 30th consecutive season of playing in New Britain. Last month, New Britain Double Play, LLC was introduced as the new owners of the franchise led by Josh Solomon and his siblings.

Among the changes made under new ownership, John Willi is back in New Britain as president and general manager of the Rock Cats. He was previously with the team from 2000-2010. He joins us to discuss the future of the club and what makes a Minor League team successful.
