minor league baseball

It's past time to go to a baseball game. I haven't been to one yet this year. The local minor league team, the Wilmington Blue Rocks, are a lot of fun and the minor leagues seem to be a lot smarter than their major league counterparts when it comes to handling things like ties in all-star games, and the business end of running their organizations. It's also fun to see players like Mike Sweeney and Johnny Damon learning their craft before they become all-stars in the big leagues. No post about the Blue Rocks would be complete without lauding the efforts of the Celery Squad, who prove that minor league fans are smarter, too:
The Celery Squad exists to provide unconditional support to Mr. Celery, and more importantly, the Wilmington Blue Rocks. We challenge ourselves to provide support that is entertaining and boisterous, while maintaining a family-friendly atmosphere. We seek to revolutionize umpire taunting by developing poignant and comedic criticism. Our ultimate goal is to be extraordinary baseball fans.
(Thanks for linking to us, Mr. Celery fans!)
