The affiliation does not matter to me, as long as there IS an affiliation. I'd have no interest in an independant league, as had been rumored. I really enjoy collecting auto's and other memorabilia, so the thought of guys that will never make it to the big leagues really did not appeal to me. Wonder what they are gonna do with all the Catfish jersies that did not sell? Take the patch off and recylcle them for next year? Or sell them in the souveneir stand? On a related note, I went to the Thrashers game last night. they had game used sticks for sale. I used to buy them all the time for $20 each. Now, they are between $75-$200, depending on the player.It's Bush's fault somehow, I guess!Jonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052406779197845814.post-40272906971871412412006-09-30T02:53:25.000-04:002006-09-30T02:53:25.000-04:00I am with you in your evaluation of the A.L.

Great seats?<br><br>We have a single A club in San Jose affiliated with the Giants. Years ago, I once went to a double header at Candlestick on a Sunday and got back in time for the 7p start of the San Jose game.<br><br>I love minor league ball.<br><br>No cheese steak, but plenty of good beer!JOHN W LILLPOPnoreply@blogger.com
