2 ex-mayors trade accusations of Rock Cats' loss

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) Two former mayors of New Britain are exchanging accusations over who's at fault for the New Britain Rock Cats' move to Hartford.

The New Britain Herald reports ex-Mayor Timothy O'Brien said the baseball team said former Mayor Timothy T. Stewart ``made them very unhappy.''

O'Brien reacted to a letter Rock Cats General Manager Tim Restall recently wrote to Mayor Erin Stewart saying that the past administrations have ``brought us to where we are today.''

Restall later told Stewart in an email that he made reference to more than one city administration.

Tim Stewart said O'Brien has been unable to accomplish much. He said his relationship with the team during his eight years in office was always good.

The minor league team announced in June it will move to Hartford in 2016.
