St.Paul AP--Major league baseball will let Birmingham busineeman and former Alabama State University trustee Donald Watkins pursue the Minnesota Twins at the same time he considers purchasing the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Twins president Jerry Bell told Congress on Thursday. Responding to questions before the House Judiciary Committee, Bell said league lawyers told him Watkins can talk with the Twins about a possible sale despite his overtures to the Devil Rays. "It's the best news I've heard all day," Watkins said.
 
well, yeah,,, but what about Birmingham?

Is he looking at eventually moving a franchise to Birmingham?:confused:
 

You never know what's on Donald's mind. He may be thinking about eventually buying the Vikings, moving them to B'ham and making the renowned Cole brothers their coaches. ( Just kidding)--- The city of Montgomery loves the Cole brothers.
 
The Birmingham Vulcans, of the NFL?

The Birmingham Vulcans of the NFL,,, with the iron man back atop Red Mountain,,,, and L.C. Coles as head coach? Hey, you never know. 20 years ago a black coach in the NFL was laughable at best. Anything could happen, if there's someone with money to make it happen.

With his worth, what are the prospects of Watkins underwriting a new stadium for ASU?
