I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the hostile takeover of SWB.<br /><br />Greg - I really need to make it to a Bowie Baysox game (Orioles' AA team). They are halfway between me and my girlfriend, and have great promotions that are distinctly minor league (Office Space night, a tribute to "The Dude", etc.). Plus it would be distinctly less depressing than the O's.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01334533396646438555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534235676864614634.post-66935325732417728572010-05-27T23:13:24.315-04:002010-05-27T23:13:24.315-04:00It's sad how "big-league" a lot of m...It's sad how "big-league" a lot of minor league teams have gotten.

(Plus the thunderstorms that rolled through here. Turns out I missed Kei Igawa setting the all-time SWB strikeout mark.) <br /><br />But you're right -- it is a shame the Yankees took away the NE Pennsylvania feel and made it more of a corporate atmosphere, which as we all know, is the Yankee Way -- it's all business. I'm no fan of naming affiliates after the big league club (I'm planning a blog post of my own on that), so I didn't like that change, either. To me, the only good thing that came out of the whole affiliation shuffle and name change was that they use that cool tophat logo for the team.<br /><br />Anyway, sorry to ramble. Have a safe trip and a good weekend.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11306517232646924007noreply@blogger.com
