Minor league baseball is a racket.

I mean, it's akin to an NFL practice squad. I'm supposed to buy a ticket for that? For a team whose players come and go at the whim of the sponsoring MLB team? It's like buying a concert ticket for American Idol auditions.

I just can't get excited about it. If anything, they should pay people that attend and provide a semblance of fan atmosphere.

Don't be a stooge.

An NFL practice squad is still much better than college football talent-wise

No, because an NFL team can't yank a college player mid-season.

I agree about their path, etc. Just don't expect me to pay for it along the way.

Yes. I'm so cheap I'd rather go to an MLB game.

Tickets behind home plate to a AAA game are like $12, most games you can get in

You get what you pay for. IMO, they're not even worth that.

To be fair, in SLC, the cheapest ticket is $13. And to sit behind the plate is

When they make it, they'll get my attention. Until then, don't bother me.
