MLB reportedly contacted White House about staging game at Wyoming park, to dismay of locals and conservationists

A proposal to hold a Major League Baseball (MLB) game inside a national park is receiving backlash from locals and conservationists.

On 26 September, the Washington Post reported that MLB reached out to the White House about staging a one-day game at the Grand Teton national park in Wyoming. Teton county describes itself as a “a year-round resort community” and sits within the Jackson Hole valley. It’s also a habitat for grizzly bears, osprey, bison and more.
