Before making Major League Baseball, the minor leagues is a key starting point. Join the author as he provides a snapshot of his coverage of the minor league teams in Gwinnett (AAA affiliate of the Atlanta Braves), Chattanooga (AA affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds), Greenville (A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox), Greensboro (A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates), Birmingham (AA affiliate of the Chicago White Sox), and Mississippi (AA affiliate of the Atlanta Braves).

Enjoy the experience from the press box, camera pits, and dugouts learning more about the players (as a few did get promoted to the big leagues during the season), teams, and game-play. Add to it the experience of the Negro Leagues Museum (in Birmingham, AL) along with learning more from a hidden part of the game, the umpires, as you take in 7 games in 8 weeks across the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and "the 'Sip" with the author.

And that is nothing Minor..
