MLB drops Grand Teton National Park as a potential game site

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred told Wyoming officials that Major League Baseball will not continue evaluating Grand Teton National Park as a site for a game.

• Manfred wrote Thursday that MLB has no formal plan to play a game in Grand Teton and will not keep evaluating the park as a site.
• Teton County commissioner Luther Propst said the park is not an appropriate venue for a game and said he will work to stop it.
• MLB approached the White House about staging the game, the White House confirmed, and the National Park Service has issued no permits.
• MLB and the players' association have played several regular-season games outside ballparks, including at the Iowa "Field of Dreams" site.
