I've decided if I were rich I'd travel from town to town to watch minor league baseball which are techncally more fun than major league because the parks are smaller & the fans more fun. I do love major league but I don't get to Arlington very often to see my Rangers play & Bally Southwest, those greedy bastards, only let Direct TV subscribers see the games anymore. I hate them.
In my research, I found some that are Summer Collegiate Leagues & not quite minor league or affiliated with major league clubs. I'm adding them because I love baseball & boys--no matter what age--that want to play as long as they can.
But I digress.
Here are some of the names. I'm not a t shirt person but I'd need something from each team.
