For the past two years, I’ve embarked on a Summer of Baseball.
Most of the games I’ve attended are minor leagues. Taking away the obvious reasons — cheaper, closer and, often, way more fun — I enjoy minor league games more than major league.
Sure, it’s fun to see the majors and such. But the minor leagues gives you the chance to see so many different things.
And many minor league organizations “get it,” too. By that I mean they understand players come and go, but the franchise is what it’s all about in the community.
Also, teams will often jab each other in a bit of fun.
Such as how it was with the Harrisburg Senators and Trenton Thunder on Wednesday.
Before I let the tweets speak for themselves, I need to say that this made me laugh and I give kudos to both teams for having this exchange. This is the type of thing that splits the minors from the majors and makes the minors so much better.
Here’s the exchange from the other day. Enjoy!

@TrentonThunder @NSYNC In that case, we accept. That album was HUGE!

Minor leagues… all the more fun. Well done Harrisburg and Trenton!
I’m so ready for baseball!
