Team Focus #7 - Boise Parrots
You are probably wondering how did Boise get a team in this league and how are they going to put butts in the seats. Jimmy Buffet wanted to own a team and asked the league if he can try Key West or Nassau and the league turned him down and said Boise or no go. So that is how the Parrots ended up here. They have a great logo and uniform and they are making their income on merchandise in a large way. They are in their first season in 2021 and play in the NL West
