MLB Abandons Grand Teton Game Plan After Local Outrage

Major League Baseball has officially dropped its proposal to host a game at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Commissioner Robert Manfred confirmed the decision in a letter to Teton County officials on October 2, citing strong local opposition. The idea, first reported by The Washington Post on September 26, involved MLB approaching the White House and having National Park Service staff scout sites. While no permits were issued and the White House denied it was a presidential priority, the backlash from conservationists and local leaders forced the league to withdraw the plan.

Brain-Eating Amoeba Detected in Western National Park Hot Springs, Prompting Health Warnings

Brain-Eating Amoeba Detected in Western National Park Hot Springs, Prompting Health Warnings

A new Outside study finds Naegleria fowleri, the brain-eating amoeba, in hot springs and thermally heated waters across western National Park Service sites including Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Lake Mead Recreation Area. The amoeba was detected in 34% of samples, with some locations showing concentrations high enough to exceed public health limits. Infections are rare but typically fatal, occurring when the organism enters the nose and travels to the brain. As water warms with climate change, the amoeba’s range may expand, increasing exposure risk. Public health guidance emphasizes avoiding nasal exposure, using nose clips, keeping the head above water, and monitoring for symptoms. While not alarmist, authorities urge enhanced monitoring and awareness in thermally influenced recreational waters.
