Not really. That would be wrong. Very wrong.
If you follow the link you will find 159 reasons to love minor league baseball. Those reasons are all 159 teams in minor league baseball.
Including this ad for the Bees:
22. Burlington Bees: Set a record. Burlington's attendance record was set back in 1994 and stands at 83,927. Do your part to smash that record in 2007. Considering a season general-admission ticket will run just $190, how can you refuse?
This question about the Kernels:
26. Cedar Rapids Kernels: There's Mr. Shucks, the mascot. There's the Home Run Hot Tub in left field. Does Mr. Shucks ever go in the Home Run Hot Tub? We don't know, but it's worth heading to Veterans Memorial Stadium to find out.
Can't leave out the L-Kings:
31. Clinton LumberKings: As the only charter member of the Midwest League (1956) left, the LumberKings have outlasted two of their former parent clubs: the Seattle Pilots and the Montreal Expos. Bump that up to three if you want to include the Brooklyn Dodgers from pre-Midwest League days.
What about us?
158. Wisconsin Timber Rattlers: They've been playing pro ball in Appleton, Wisc., since the early '90s -- the 1890s. Heading to Fox Cities Stadium is not only a good time, it helps out the people who live there. The Timber Rattlers are non-stock and community-owned, kind of like the nearby Green Bay Packers.
