Virginia League Could Realign Toward South Atlantic
Virginia press reports a move to pull Richmond and Norfolk from the Virginia League into the South Atlantic League. If Atlanta and Birmingham depart the Southern League, Richmond and Norfolk may join the South Atlantic, shrinking the Virginia League and prompting Newport News and Petersburg to consider joining. Richmond’s crowds have ranged from 8,000 to 10,000 on key days, and Norfolk would draw many from that city with a South Atlantic presence.
