As if the virus weren’t bad enough for the business of baseball, negotiations between Major League Baseball and the affiliated Minor League Baseball organization continue. From all indications it appears increasingly likely the the affiliated system is looking at some significant changes.
As I said, the virus is bad enough, as several minor leagues have postponed or cancelled their All-Star Game festivities, if not their entire seasons (yet). As of this writing that list of ASG cancellations includes the Eastern League, the Midwest League, the Southern League, the Texas League, and the Triple-A All-Star Game.
All of this craziness makes this website all the more relevant as a repository and a museum for official minor league baseballs. I’m tracking down those teams that had already produced official ASG balls (you can see them here) and I’ll update the site as soon as I hear from them all. Keep your eyes peeled.
And don’t forget to buy the book! For collectors of minor league balls, I present a handy reference and how-to guide for curating your collection. Pick one up today! Buy two, they’re small!
