In the last few pieces I’ve written about Major League Baseball’s plans to restructure Minor League Baseball (in a transparent attempt to squeeze a few dollars out of their substantially less profitable subsidiaries, but I digress) I’ve noticed a running trend. Quite a few of you have commented with remarks like ‘this isn’t a big deal to me,” or “I just can’t get all that worked up about this.”
Well, I hear you. In fact, I’ll be perfectly clear — I don’t have a personal story of how MiLB changed my fandom or anything like that. My love of baseball was solidified in games with the neighbors in our yards growing up and Little League fields in Carbon County, Utah.
