Defunct / New Teams #2

Open jason-zagorski opened 6 years ago

jason-zagorski commented 6 years ago

First of all, I really like this site! It's a super convenient tool.

While looking at the teams in the northeast region, I noticed that a few teams on the map either no longer exist or have changed names/affiliates, and that there are some new teams that aren't represented on the map. I realize that you don't maintain this frequently, so I just figured I'd let you know so that you can potentially fix it for this upcoming season.

For example: Defunct teams: Newark Bears (NJ), Bridgeport Bluefish (CT), Camden Riversharks (NJ) Changed names: New Britain Rock Cats (they're now the New Britain Bees, playing in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball) New teams: Hartford Yard Goats (AA Rockies affiliate)

Other Changes: Syracuse Chiefs -> Syracuse Mets (Mets AAA) Las Vegas 51s -> Las Vegas Aviators (A's AAA) Sacramento River Cats (now Giants AAA) Fresno Grizzlies (now Nationals AAA) Binghamton Mets -> Binghamton Rumble Ponies

Thanks @jason-zagorski , and sorry for the delay. Defunct teams have been marked as such. New Britain Bees appear to be a completely new team, entering the Atlantic League after the Riversharks shut down (though not as a continuation of the Riversharks). They did take over New Britain Stadium from the Rock Cats, who moved to Hartford to become to Yard Goats.

Thanks @Phillyballpaul . Those teams have been updated.

Leaving this issue open in case anyone wants to request future team updates.
