Smaller ball?
Would be interesting to hear about some minor league teams and stadiums. Coming from an area where we didnt have access to major league ball, I got hooked on watching minor league teams, where the guys played for something more than money.
I grew up in watching the Peninsula Pilots (Class A-),....who brought in such greats as Johnny Bench, and when they were farming for the Astros, I can recall many a night where Cesar Cedano was often an example of how little leaguers should not play ball!
Along the way, I caught the Asheville Tourists (before the Rockies), the Arkansas Travelers (is there a theme going here?). AM thinking I may have to make a trip to see the Durham Bull and maybe even visit the Toledo Mudhens.

Actually just caught some Minor League Games this past month - Memphis Redbirds (Cards), Winston-Salem Dash (White Sox), and Hickory Crawdads (Rangers)!
I just updated my blog with #15 Dash, so check it out and let me know what you think team. I'll post my other updates soon...ish.
