Wire Taps: Washington Nationals’ new Triple-A affiliate; Hello, Rochester!; Winter shopping list + more Nats links...

Rochester, NY is known as the Flower City. It’s the third-largest city in New York State, with only NYC and Buffalo bigger. It’s also apparently known as the Flour City, which is weird, a little bit, right? Rochester is also known for having some of the highest total snowfall. That shouldn’t be a problem for the boys of summer... hopefully. But those early season games might be interesting (or really just cold). Frederick Douglass lived there between 1847-72.

Also, Rochester, the home of something called a garbage plate is now the Triple-A affiliate of your Washington Nationals.
