While MLB’s postseason battles Halloween for October supremacy, some of the league’s top prospects will head to Arizona for Fall League — six weeks of extended instructional play at six of the Spring Training stadiums. The AFL begins in Arizona today, October 9.
The AFL is one of my favorite times of the year (other than Rocktober) and it’s the league that truly sparked my passion for baseball a few years ago when I started attending games. During my first AFL season, I was lucky enough to meet Ryan McMahon and see him win the Bowman Hitting Challenge for the AFL East.
