Altoona Curve just clinched a playoff spot in the AA Eastern League, giving PITTSBURGH a third minor league playoff team.
We’re losing our Single-A team here in Savannah (the Sand Gnats), due to the lack of vision of the Mayor and City Counsel.
What is sad is that they are likely to when the Division Championship this year.
We’ll still have a team. Someone is going to put a college level rookie team here next year.
Won’t be the same.
True. George Steinbrenner used to insist on having winning farm clubs 'so they learn to win". Well, the minor league people would sign veterans, win a lot of games, and then not produce enough talent for the Yankees.
Things have changed somewhat under Hank and Hal Steibrenner.
