Reply to "Appalachian League"

Son was a late season addition to a team in the Appy League.  So his experience is limited to a few weeks experience.

Teams were professionally ran - a direct result of being former Minor League affiliates.  Games were played Tuesday - Sunday with Monday's off.  Games were played in two game series on back to back nights.  No overnight travel as teams were within a short distance of each other.  Longest bus ride was around 4 hours.  Everything else was less than an hour.

Son's team stayed in a hotel all season.  He had a buddy on another team whose team stayed in a college dorm.

He really enjoyed the atmosphere at the games.  Teams were mostly well supported by local fans, and the teams gave the fans a great experience.  Said it got rowdy on dollar beer night and thirsty Thursdays but he described that as "fun".

Most games were live streamed over the internet both via video and radio.  So we were able to catch most all of his games which was a nice bonus for us.

Season started early June and ran through early August.  Son left the Apply League on a Sunday and reported to his college campus on Wednesday - so a very short turn around for him.

I would be happy to try and answer any other questions you may have.
