We’re losing our Single-A team here in Savannah (the Sand Gnats), due to the lack of vision of the Mayor and City Counsel.

What is sad is that they are likely to when the Division Championship this year.

We’ll still have a team. Someone is going to put a college level rookie team here next year.

Won’t be the same.

yes, Sand Gnats will be missed.

Springfield Cardinals just eliminated with a loss to Tulsa, 10-4.
This clinches the division for the Arkansas Travelers (LAA first playoff team).
AA TEXAS LEAGUE.

Our youth baseball league uses minor league teams for the 4th and 5th grade teams. The Sand Gnats were a regular team. Along with the Lugnuts, Rockhounds, Lookouts and 51s. The minor leagues have great team names.

College ball or Rookie League? Either way, it’s a step down, but the Rookie League is professional (just starting, but professional.)

Personally, I think MLB would be well served by having more farm clubs, but I think they’re afraid that if they just let teams have more, it will provide a long-term competitive advantage for the wealthy clubs.

Among the many things I think MLB is handling precisely the wrong way.
