MiLB.com: Arizona Fall League
Submitted by Robert Daeley on Mon, 2006-10-09 19:27.
MiLB.com published a cool profile today of the Arizona Fall League, a 6-week, minor-league prospect mini-season that makes me wish I could get to Arizona this coming month:
“Arizona Fall League continues making history”
The Arizona Fall League, which started up in 1992, enters its 15th season, extending from Oct. 10 through Nov. 16, with a one-game championship on Nov. 18.
In its first 14 years of existence, it has given top Minor League prospects an opportunity to play for several weeks against elite competition, in a relaxed atmosphere, at first-class ballparks.
It has afforded organizations the chance to send not just their top young players but their up-and-coming coaches and managers, to give them a chance to hone their skills.
And, it has given fans a chance to see dozens of future superstars competing in the beautiful fall weather of Arizona, in parks where there is no such thing as a bad seat in the house.
