In the Field
In the field. On the farm. Grabbing sleep on the bus from Kissimmee to Jupiter, playing in leagues called Florida State, South Atlantic, and Pioneer. Minor League baseball has bat races, seventh-inning television giveaways, and good seats. Celebrating 100 years, minor league baseball is the place for prospects and projects, dreams, bitter defeats, and sweet sunsets.

Watch this realm for sites dedicated to the transactions and stats, as well as articles about the players, history, and books coming out about the baseball's minor leagues.


The Official Site of Minor League Baseball
The official site of minor league baseball provides the latest scores, standings, transactions, and game recaps. Search teams by geographic location, major league affiliation, or place in the alphabet. Daily highlights and insider reports keep you current on emerging prospects. Check out articles from the Southern League's groundskeeper of the year to the latest promotions and merchandise celebrating the 100 year anniversary of minor league ball.
