Puerto Rico is about a 4 hour flight from New York. Thats about the same distance a team in the east coast has to travel to fly to the west coast.

travel problems? none.

however, what ScotVib mentioned about economics is a good point.

I would love to see a team in Puerto Rico...only if it could work out. MLB seemlingly has a history of putting teams in terrible places over the last decade. There are far more rich and supportive areas in the U.S. before P.R.

that being said, having a team in P.R. wouldnt give me a headache. I really dont understand what's all the fuss.

i wonder how people are gonna react when David Stern finally goes by his word and expands the NBA into Europe. could happen in 5 years.
