Could the MLB Really Come to Austin?

Rumor has it that Major League Baseball has plans to expand by two new teams, and a pair of Austinites is hoping to woo the league to ATX. In today’s episode, host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by KXAN Reporter Grace Reader, who recently covered the Austin Baseball Commission’s efforts, to discuss the details, like: What would the team be named? And how much would this whole ordeal cost? (Spoiler alert: BILLIONS.) 

Stay tuned for our special weekly segment, A Mile in Their Boots, featuring a bonus interview with Chris Harris, a local activist and organizer. We’d like to thank Tecovas, who makes our favorite Western wear in town, for being our exclusive launch sponsor.
