    re

    I live about a mile from the kannapolis Intimidators in Kannapolis NC (Charlotte Metro) the single A White Sox (Carolina League).

    cool story about the name, Kannapolis is/was the home of Dale Earnhardt, and his family were somehow affiliated with the team, so after his death in 2001, they changed there team name to the Intimidators which was his name on the track.

    nice little park I tend to get there about a dozen times each Summer.

    I didn't know that about their name, that is kinda cool.

    I wonder if they retired the #3?


    "Tonight was the exact same thing," Bundy said. "Going into each
    start, they want me to work on my changeup. I'm going out there
    throwing changeups and curveballs when I don't even need to."

    Translation: Hitters can't even touch Bundy's
    fastball, never mind get wood on a curve.

    As you can see, I merged your thread with this one.

    The Yankees' link with the Netherlands since 1981

    The Netherlands: 2011 World Champions baseball, beating Cuba twice (4-1 and 2-1)!!!!!

    Unfortunately, they recently moved from the older Civic Stadium, to the new stadium the University of Oregon built for their new baseball program, and an all artificial turf surface. PK park just doesn't have the charm that so many of the new minor league parks have, it just isn't built for the minor league game.

    I used to drive up to Portland several times a season to see the Portland Beavers, who most recently were San Diego's AAA affiliate. The City of Portland sold them out for a new MLS team (soccer!!!!! geez) and they moved to Tucson.
    It's shameful to lose baseball for a lame sport like soccer.
