What is wrong with this opening from
an article in the Dayton Daily News regarding the announcement that the Dragons will be televising 15 games this season?
There are more than 120 minor-league baseball teams above the Class A level. Last season, only nine televised some of their games.
The new Class AAA Lehigh Valley (Allentown, Pa.) team broadcast all 72 home games, and will do the same this season as one of its sponsors is a cable company. Class AA Reading did 23. Quad Cities in the Midwest League televised four. The Dayton Dragons were the only other low Class A team to televise, and the Dragons did 15 games.
Here...let me re-re-write that...

The Timber Rattlers had eight games broadcast on Time Warner Cable Sports 32 last year. TWC 32 has scheduled 10 games for broadcast in 2009.
There. Fixed.

"There are more than 120 minor-league baseball teams above the Class A level."
Technically, aren't there only 60 class A teams above the Class A level? There are 120 at or above the Class A level, but if you are talking strictly above, then I think the number is 60.
I can nitpick with the best of them.
Owen, I was confused by that too. Every team has one AA and one AAA team, thus, 60 "above" class A. You would think someone would have caught that.
