Two weeks ago, DC Council Chair Linda Cropp appeared one of the Mayor's staunchest supporters in the bid to bring baseball to DC. So everyone was surprised this past Friday, when she withdraw her support for the Mayor's Southeast stadium location, and proposed that any new stadium be built on land already occupied by RFK. Critics say she thru Major League Baseball and the Mayor a major curve ball. Kojo hears from Councilwoman Cropp and others on what this means for baseball's future in DC.

Audio archives, transcripts and CDs will be available approximately 15 minutes after the program ends.
