Why?

Why would someone in Pennsylvania create a blog that covers a minor league several thousand miles away? Why would anyone want to read it? Hopefully I can answer that over the course of the season.

Why the interest in the California League? The slugfest atmosphere is unmatched throughout professional baseball. The Pacific Coast League comes close, but the offensive numbers in the California League beat those. Average hitters appear to be stars, future All-Star pitchers sometimes struggle, and occasionally, 18 runs isn't even enough to keep the opponent within 16.

This blog will follow the teams and players that make up one of the most exciting oddities in sports. It's sure to be a great season.
