Minor League baseball is an amoeba of sports entertainment. At different times, it can be mind-numbingly boring and ridiculously entertaining. A few of the men (boys in some cases) on the field have millions of dollars, many more can barely afford to keep a roof over their head. To get people into the seats, the minor league teams, usually located in small cities and towns, try to top one another by hosting absurd, headline-grabbing promotional nights. It really is something to behold.
While most of our attention will be aimed on Baltimore, don't forget that the Orioles have five minor league affiliates within reasonable driving distance of Charm City.
