Tean Focus #5 - Atlantic City Sharks
The Atlantic City Sharks were part of the 2019 expansion. The team was formed with funds from the Borgata Casino, and a lot of protest by the Philadelphia Phillies for infringing on their turf. The team plays in the NL East and has shown promise in it's 3rd season. Most of the attendance is coming from tourists and half the tickets sold are comps from the casino.
