This Appalachian League post “caught” my eye this morning, no pun intended. Please read, share, and/or respond to the post the below if you qualify to be a bullpen catcher for this very prestigious summer collegiate baseball league.

In this week’s edition of the American Baseball Experience, I document some of the many baseball experiences in my trips and travels to the State of Georgia. Georgia has incredible universities, major league baseball history, minor league teams galore, and way more baseball fields than I can ever imagine visiting. My travels over the years have centered around the capital, Atlanta. I was lucky enough (twice) to attend a Braves game.

In my baseball journeys to college and university baseball fields over the past decade or so, the story of my trip is typically not the players or a live game. It is the field of play, the stadium’s front gate entrance, the bleachers, and all sorts of interesting statues and memorabilia. Many times, I would say more often than not, I visit an empty baseball field on a college or university campus.
