Sen. Capito takes tour of Blue Jays facilities amid minor league battle

Back in November of 2019, Major League Baseball announced it was considering eliminating more than 40 of the 160 minor league teams. That would include the Princeton Rays and the Bluefield Blue Jays in southern West Virginia. On Friday, Feb. 22, 2020, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito took a tour of the Blue Jays facilities. She said since the announcement, lawmakers have been fighting to keep all the teams in the cities they call home.
