Description
"In 1990, 25 million people watched minor league baseball games. In 2001, that number had increased to 39 million. Die-hard fans, families, business associates, and church, social and school groups come to eat crab cakes and sushi and drink lattes, watch contests between innings, see entertainers and enjoy post-game fireworks." "This book examines the "new minors." Part One analyzes the changes in the operations of minor league franchises and the shifting relationship between the majors and the members of the National Association. Part Two focuses on the people, places and events of the 2003 season and playoffs, with special attention to the coaches and players, major league player development departments, and the relationships between them. Part Three offers general observations about the future." "The Edmonton Trappers (Pacific Coast League), Rancho Cucamonga Quakes (California League), Billings Mustangs (Pioneer League), El Paso Diablos (Texas League), Lansing Lugnuts (Midwest League), and Mahoning Valley Scrappers (New York-Pennsylvania League) are highlighted."--Jacket.
