Could this be the last professional baseball season in Batavia? Rochester Community Baseball has tried to pump life into the Single-A New York-Penn League franchise, but the results have not been encouraging. Coming off a league championship season, the Muckdogs have averaged only 988 fans for 29 home dates this summer. That's down from an average of 1,199 last year and 1,230 in 2007. The Red Wings lost around $250,000 operating the Muckdogs last year and haven't decided what to do after this season. According to the current arrangement with the Muckdogs, if the franchise were sold, Rochester Community Baseball would receive 10 percent of the sales price.

And here's the corrections......
The article leaves the impression that the writer has spoken with officials of the Red Wings and that the operator of the Muckdogs is undecided about the Muckdogs' future.
