So, congratulations to the JetHawks and ValleyCats, though it should be noted that 2009 was the first year under the Astros organization for the JetHawks, and they still jumped in attendance by almost 300 fans/game. And it's due to the tireless promotional schedule that the ValleyCats continue to draw fans despite not being particularly happy with how The Apparatus may be treating the ValleyCats as a franchise.
