Chapter 7 - Minor League Baseball
All major league baseball teams have minor league teams as well. You can usually see them play and practice if you visit their camps. Most major league teams have camps in Florida, Arizona and other parts of the nation where the weather is warm all year long. They will stay in their on season area during the baseball season, but will then move to their baseball training camp. This is where both the major league players stay in shape during the off season and where the minor league players play.
Many people like to watch minor league games. One of the main reasons for this is that the minor league games are more affordable than the major league games. The price of ball game tickets has gone up considerably in recent years. Minor league games are much more affordable for the family.
Another reason why people like the minor league games is because the players are more accessible. Autograph hounds will want to get autographs of the minor league players who appear to be up and coming. And this is not just for collecting - either. Autographs from the big named players end up being worth a lot of money on places like eBay. Some people who want to speculate on the future worth of a player will enjoy the minor league games. You never know when you are going to meet the next big major league star.
The minor leagues are not only a way up for players, but also a way down. Some of the players who have been signed to a long term contract and who are not able to play any longer, or whose game is not what it once was, are transferred back down to the minor leagues. In some cases, their careers are revived, and in other cases, they simply play out the rest of their contract in the minor leagues.
The minor leagues have the same rules as the major leagues. Watching a minor league game is very similar to watching a major league game. You will not get the loads of food that is sold at a major league baseball game, but you will see some good playing.
