Sometimes we take technology for granted in today’s modern age. Growing up in the late 60’s and the 70’s, then going to college in the 80’s, minor-league players were almost mythical figures. For Cub fans they were huge myths. Topps Rookie Cards of Ty Waller and Gene Hiser were the only source of information unless you subscribed to The Sporting News or Baseball Digest. However, you were scouting the stat line. My how times have changed, especially with technology the last ten years.
For me, one of the highlights of the past few summers has been watching the Cubs’ minor league teams on a daily basis on MiLB.
