According to the New York Post, and if they write about it it must be true 😉 , the New York Yankees cut the ties with the Staten Island Yankees (former low A affiliate) because of the temporary moniker the farm team used. Through the years since 2018, the SI Yankees adopted a temporary moniker …

I guess we are used to bench clearing brawls on a baseball diamond. It doesn't happen every day, but once in a while it occurs. But a brawl between players and fans? It happened last night during a game between the Sussex County Miners and the New Jersey Jackals in the independent Frontier League. Something …
Minor League Baseball is known for its wacky promotions to lure fans to the ballparks. Next week, the Missoula Paddleheads will have one that includes a certain alcoholic beverage. The Missoula Paddleheads of the “independent” Pioneer League (you know, one of those leagues that that were cut by MLB to save the greedy MLB owners …
The Dodgers AA affiliiate Tulsa Drillers will wear a special patch during the month of May. A patch that remembers the 1921 Race Massacre that took place in Tulsa.

No, no, no. Major League Baseball isn't going to expand to Fort Myers. The local minor league club, the Miracle, will have a Major League themed day coming Saturday.

Recently you could read about the comic Peanuts and its relationship to baseball. Despite the passing of its artist, Peanuts is still in the hearts of many Americans which was proven by the Binghamton Rumble Ponies last night. The Rumble Ponies (I still think it is a lame name) played last night's game vs the …
Yes, it is a returning event in baseball. A day that must please every baseball nut/Star Wars fan. May 4, in general, promoted as "May the fourth be with you" with a nod to the Star Wars saga's phrase "May the Force be with you." Also this year, many MLB and MiLB teams will have a …

The upcoming season will one to be remembered in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. At least according to the SWB Railriders.

Say the name Benjamin Hill in a Minor League ballpark and everybody knows who you are talking about. Benjamin Hill is my big example when it comes to blogging. Ben is working for MiLB for a long time so he is inextricably linked to that part of the baseball landscape. Luckily Ben was so nice to …
