MiLB Ongoing...

I really enjoy reading posts like these.

Good luck to your son on Sunday and for the remainder of the season. The same goes to everyone else on here who has a son playing in the MiLB.

YGD

P.S. I absolutely LOVE the MiLB team names!

CD,
Best of luck to Tyler in his first full season of professional ball.

Each new season and each level brings it's own set of challenges, the first full season is especially a big adjustment, even for the college guys. The MWL is a great league.

The one thing to remember, and I think that Tyler will (having such a great attitude and outlook, no matter what the day brings), enjoy every moment.

Thanks YGD and thanks TPM!

TPM - David must be pumped to be starting at AA. Some organizations promote straight to the big leagues from that level. My best wishes for him to tear it up and see his dreams come true!

CD,
NOT the STL Cardinals.
He is just hoping for a season without any major arm issues, and we are too!

tpm -you have a pm (I hope -- it's the first I've tried).

I missed the Bowling Green move to the MWL. This page says it was for logistical reasons. I'm sure the players will appreciate a few shorter trips.

Ft. Wayne won it all last season and posted the best record in the minors. I haven't checked the rosters, but I imagine most of those players have moved on to Lake Elsinore with the sons of justbaseball and SDBB.

My guy will be playing in the Carolina League, out of Wilmington. That will be great since there are three teams near most of the family. First game is at Myrtle Beach.

Best wishes to all HSBBWers' sons in MiLB!

Cleveland Dad, TPM Mom, and TMM Dad, best wishes to your sons as they begin their seasons! I can't wait to hear and read about all their successes this spring and summer!

good luck to all posters parents and players,mine starts tonight behind the dish in tampa versus the lakeland tigers.south atlantic league was highly competitive last year, only saw 8 games, hope to see more this year.he sure is turning into a great young man,also finishing last 9 hrs. on line this spring to graduate. go big red.

Good luck to your son TMM_Dad. I've been to a Carolina League game and it was a blast. Hope you get to see lots of those games this year.

And to all the others, have a great season!

He's an infielder and capable at short, 2nd, and third. He played mostly SS last year.

Best wishes to Mitch!

Thank you, sir.

Ahh, the Carolina League. The Prince William team moved in two miles from my old house not long after I sold it. If I had only known they were coming.

I remember taking Tim to a game there shortly after watching a couple of Braves games at Fulton County Stadium in 1991. He was trying to rev the Cannons up by doing the tomahawk chop.



One of the players I remember was Brad Ausmus.* I'm watching him on TV right now, 19 years later. Holy Cow!

* Drafted: Selected by New York Yankees in 48th Round (1151st overall) of 1987 amateur entry draft (June-Reg) -The Baseball Cube

Speaking of openers the Nashua Fisher Cats (NH) opened up tonite in New Britain, CT

My adopted son "D", ITS first born opened up the game with a lead off homer


Way to go !!!!


UPDATE-- base on balls the second at bat-- being described as having a dirty uniform from getting back to first base---that is my "D"

Finally, baseball season! Been going through withdrawal for months. Son's team opened last night in Binghamton and got 4 1/2 in before the skies opened up.

Good luck to all and enjoy.

The best part of the HR thing yesterday was this:

They have a nice sized scoreboard/jumbotron type thing in left center at the New Britain stadium.

He hit the homerun right off of his face that was on the scoreboard. LOL

Good or bad - one thing is for sure - its never boring with that dude.

Congrats to all!

I sure do miss following our guy in baseball. Still follow his buddies, though. A lot less stressful.

Hope all your guys have great, injury free seasons.

You use to be able to go on MiLB audio and listen to the games you missed. I don't see that feature this yr. Did I miss some thing?

ClevelandDad, I think you might be my all time favorite poster...

God Bless your boy. I will root for him this year and always.

(Amazing things your way!)
