So, without further adieu, some assorted links about the quirks and perks of minor league baseball:
Minor League Logo Awards: Not an official honorific by any means, but Darren Rovell collects a ridiculous assortment of minor league logos, from the Savannah Sand Gnats to the Jamestown Jammers (left) to the Montgomery Biscuits (right), which Rovell describes as, "essentially a running Egg McMuffin with a piece of butter as a mouth." Rovell also posted a follow-up here.
Top 10 Minor League Promotions (Sports Illustrated): This list is a few years old, so I'm sure a few more recent promotions have topped the ones here. But some would be pretty hard to beat. The Saint Paul Saints sold an at-bat on eBay: the winner popped up, but the manager liked him and started him the next day. He went 0 for 4. The Charleston Riverdogs held a 'Silent Night' at which talking wasn't tolerated. Fans with duct-taped mouths held up signs reading "YEAH!," "BOO!," or "HEY BEER MAN!" You can also keep up with crazy promotions at MiLB.com: each week they list their favorite ten for the week ahead. This week's list includes a "McDreamy" night (don't ask).
MiLB.com: The official site of minor league baseball includes an interactive map to find teams in your area—some of which, I guarantee, even rabid baseball fans will not recognize.
I know I have to be missing a bunch of good minor league dirt. Comment with links or stories about your favorite farm teams.
