The other day, I took a moment to introduce the Houston Apollos, as they are a local Independent Baseball League team. Previously the Sugarland Skeeters were the strongest independent league from my understanding in the Houston area, but with the Astros acquisition and conversion of them as a minor league team, that has changed. With that said, the Sugarland Skeeters played for the Atlantic league, which, Baseball Historian named as the strongest in Independent League Baseball.
733 Baseball did a cool video covering the Atlantic League, and includes ex-Astros prospect Telvin Nash
So what is the Atlantic League?
