Sale of Team
On November 29, 2010, High Desert Mavericks were sold to Main Street Baseball after more than a year on the open market. Rumors have the team possibly relocating to Chico, California, if a new ballpark is proposed and built there.
However in 2011, the city of Chico lost their NAL team the Chico Outlaws and that team moved to Calexico, California (see the Arizona Winter League - the Calexico Outlaws) in Imperial Valley right on the Mexican border.
The Riverside, California area is the best location for the Mavericks, although the cities of Moreno Valley, California and Palm Springs, California have the best stadiums to meet league standards. Already the Lake Elsinore Storm, the class-A San Diego Padres affiliate wanted to move down to Escondido, California in San Diego County and the Mavericks shall replace the lone Riverside County spot in Lake Elsinore, California. Originally, Escondido wanted to host the AAA Tucson Padres of the Pacific Coast League, but the city did not approve a new stadium proposal and there's the San Diego County fairgrounds stadium.

“I hate this shallow Americanism which hopes to get rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on midnight tables, to learn the economy of the mind by phrenology, or skill without study, or mastery without apprenticeship, or the sale of goods through pretending that they sell, or power through making believe you are powerful, or through a packed jury or caucus, bribery and “repeating” votes, or wealth by fraud.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Romeo. I dreamt a dream tonight.
Mercutio. And so did I.
Romeo. Well, what was yours?
Mercutio. That dreamers often lie.
Romeo. In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.
Mercutio. O then I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomi
Over men’s noses as they lie asleep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
