October 7 will mark the opening of the 32nd season (if my math is correct) of the Arizona Fall League. The first-ever game in the league was played on October 6, 1992, and of course the 2020 season was cancelled for some reason or another. For those unfamiliar, the six-team league features players from each of the major league organizations. The Surprise Saguaros (composed of players from the Royals, Guardians, Orioles, and Astros) are the defending champions, which perhaps shouldn’t be surprising as all four of those teams have enjoyed tremendous on-field success this year. Generally, players will ask top prospects to participate, and participating pitchers are often those who need to build up innings from an in-season injury.
