After weeks of speculation and the field of cities being pared down to Vancouver, Québec, Montréal, and Kansas City, ownership surprised supporters and critics alike by naming Ottawa in Ontario, Canada as the destination of the erstwhile Empires.
When asked why Ottawa, owner Pierre Gastineau had this to say, "We just felt that it was time to bring WBA baseball back to the Great White North. We want to be Canada's team and so what better place than the nation's capital - especially with the Washington Senators reportedly moving out of the U.S. capital."
Gastineau also announced the team's new name, the Whiskey Jacks and revealed the new logo and uniforms. In addition, the full slate of minor league affiliates was announced as follows: AAA: Québec Capitales, AA: Vancouver Mounties, A: Trois-Rivières Aigles, and R: Guelph Royals.
At the press conference announcing the move one American reporter asked, "What the heck is a whiskey jack?"
Gastineau replied, "Are you kidding? A whiskey jack? Gray jay? Also known as the Canada jay? Nothing? Well, they're found all over Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific, north to south. The Royal Canadian Geographical Society started a vote to determine what might become the national bird of Canada since we don't have one yet. That it is found in every province and territory, doesn't leave when things get a bit nippy, has a cheerful, but determined disposition - and that it's just a beautiful, if understated bird, all recommend the whiskey jack for elevation to status as our national bird and to grace our brand new uniforms. The nation's team, with the nation's bird, in the nation's capital. What could be more fitting?!"

Only one thing is for certain - the Empires will be leaving New York City in 2110. Or is even that "fact" a sure thing?
Rumours abound regarding the fate of the NYC Empires franchise. Ownership has received attractive bids from Guadalajara, México, Vancouver, Québec, Montréal, and Calgary in Canada and Kansas City, St. Louis, San Francisco, and Boston in the United States. And sources in the know say that there may be a darkhorse candidate in the wings.
Ownership is not saying whether a winning bid has been chosen, but has stated that no announcement will come until the WBA Championship has been decided. The Empires' cagey owner is quoted as saying, "We don't want to steal their thunder. We'll announce when the season is truly over - and when we're ready."

Hello All, I'm Philip Hubbard, taking over the Empires and looking forward to the 2110 season. I see that it's going to be an uphill climb, but I just completed an expansion draft for the 1969 KC Royals in another OOTP league. We're 11-58 and almost everyone of these struggling Empires would be franchise players for that team.  Relatively new to OOTP, but I'm in my third season in the '69 Royals league, Dugout Wizards, and have 2 other leagues: 1875 St. Louis Brown Stockings and 2018 KC Royals. Definitely relocating in the off-season as a Kansas City boy can't stay in New York. Decided to move north to Canada for our one and only team from the Great White North, but have not definitely decided to move. Various cities have been putting in bids and currently Vancouver and Quebec City are the leading contenders. Good luck to all through the balance of the playoffs and Championship! Philip (aka Monarch3)
