Unlike the growing number of people who say or do something abhorrent and are subsequently ostracized online or in real life, no one wanted Minor League Baseball to be cancelled. Well, okay, at least 30 MLB owners and any number of people in the league office wanted this to happen. Millions of fans and thousands of minor league players, not to mention thousands more people who work for the 162 different affiliates must now accept the inevitable.
Though everyone has known for several weeks what was going to happen, the official announcement came Tuesday afternoon following a meeting of MiLB’s board of trustees.
