January 07, 2005Minor League Expansion?It looks as though an independent baseball league may want to expand to Aurora, and then add another team in the area, very broadly defined as stretching from Pueblo to Cheyenne, and from Limon to Golden. After I graduated and came back to DC, I started going to the minor league games on occasion. There were three, possibly four minor league teams nearby, one more if you count Richmond, and one more than that if you count Baltimore-under-Angelos. Personally, I'm a bit of a purist, in that I like baseball-as-competition rather than baseball-as-entertainment. The honesty of competition is better in independent league ball than in the structure minor leagues, or could be. Managers are paid to win, rather than develop talent that can be snatched away. It makes it more rewarding to follow a team over a season. Posted by joshuasharf at January 7, 2005 08:05 AM | TrackBack |
