What if the Waterloo Diamonds Where Forever Again?

What makes me feel incensed is there still is not any Waterloo Diamonds, 23 Years after they where preparing for a Season they didn't play. And, I feel that, I want to see some final solution to replacing Riverfront Stadium and bring Waterloo Diamonds back to Minor League Baseball.

And, even if they had an Iowa Division of the Midwest League again, I'd want to see the Diamonds back forever. And, I feel like why not reinstate Panther Baseball again? I'd want to see a proper return of the Kernels-Diamonds Rivalry and not just in story again, or worse, in literature.

And, having to care about Olympic Sports requires getting out of the house. And, Waterloo returning to the Minors will raise all ships from Doubleday to Honolulu.

Roses are red, Violets are Blue and I doubt the World Baseball Classic will be here in 2021. But, I want to see the Diamonds back, especially if there was a season where Cedar Rapids won without Waterloo, the Baseball Strike denied the Expos vs. White Sox and enabled the Braves Summer Pennants and Waterloo didn't have a season to prepare for again. Sadly, all of that is real life and all of that happened in 1994.

Even if they had to turf the UNI Dome for Baseball Again, the Diamonds will be forever again.

The 2016 Gimme That Back Sports and Entertainment Honors

I, as a Dynasty Sized Champion of Sports and Entertainment (No, I don't kid with that) are calling to the table the Gimme That Back Sports and Entertainment Honors and us fans do not like to be dumbed down a tiny iota. And, this is inspired by ESPN's Sports Franchise of the Year Poll. I will start with Drag Racing:

My Gimme That Back is to make Memphis into an NHRA National Again. It's Time.

Open Wheel Racing: My Gimme That Back is MORE Racing Leagues.

Stock Car Racing: My huge Gimme That Back is to see more Championship Racing. NOT Playoffs. Even if we had the SCCA Runoffs through Stock Car and the Championship 500 at Charlotte. (If we meet another Hurricane Matthew, I'd want Charlotte to be a dry land host and have an actual Championship 500, at Home, at Charlotte.)  A lot of it is tangentized over why I didn't see NO Cars on the Track Friday or Saturday.  Even though it is legit, because of Matthew, but, I'd feel chinced as the TV Viewer and the Stock Car Fan.

Road Racing: My Gimme That Back is where is the Majesty?

Weekly Racing: My Gimme That Back is why no one has Replaced Speedways? And, I want to see replacements galore like the Ys and like we are proud of it and we mean it!

Popular Culture: My Gimme That Back is stop picking On and Off Orlando like it needs to be jilted over and over and over and over and again and again and again and again and oh yeah, AGAIN! There are 2 Things I can't take is 2nd When I want the win and making a joke out of true protected groups. It also is not sitting fine with me that the Arena Football League is having a near death experience and its okay for the Indoor Football League to turn into a Clockwork Orange and Orlando does NOT Have an appropriate Texas Pro Side. Seriously, and I am talking Seriously, I want to see Orlando NOT Fake its role as Summer Vacation all year long for my and a lot of my peers self esteems.

Pro Football: Fire Goodell! Have the Courage to Just Fire Goodell and stop the buffonery of a great league. The LA Rams are NOT Merlin Olsens and Do Expansion for St. Louis and Orlando.

Hockey: Promote the Calder or Clark Cup Champion as is as the 32nd NHL Team.

Baseball: I want the Diamonds Back! I want to see Waterloo in the Midwest League again, even if Trista Sutter has to bring her Wedding Dress out of retirement like Cyndi Lauper and Somersault the First Pitch of the Waterloo Diamonds Revival.
(It feels like I want to see Northeast Iowa do Baseball Greater than Independent League, because, I don't need no 2-Bits impersonating Great Baseball Heros.)

Basketball: NBA in St. Louis and Seattle.

Olympic Sports: Quick, who got Iowa HS Diplomas for Korea and Tokyo Winter and Summer.

and

Womens Sports: I hate to split my wig further, but, I'd feel the Women's Basketball Title needs to be at home in Iowa. Not new and still painfully true.
