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.

Famous quotes containing the words sale of, sale and/or team:
“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)
“[T]he dignity of parliament it seems can brook no opposition to it’s power. Strange that a set of men who have made sale of their virtue to the minister should yet talk of retaining dignity!”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Once a word is spoken, a team of four horse cannot retake it.”
—Chinese proverb.
