I’ve spent the last six years of my life living far away from Rockies baseball in a city that doesn’t have a Major League Baseball team. Thanks to the advent of MLB.tv, this isn’t the death knell to fandom it once was, but the need for live baseball is quite the insatiable thirst. Luckily for me, there is Minor League Baseball.
Once a broad coalition of semi-pro teams and leagues, Minor League Baseball as we now know it consists of over 247 teams in 44 states (as well as British Columbia, Canada). Part of what makes the Rockies unique is they have teams spread all over the country, which makes possible for you to drive to a Rockies affiliate game from just about anywhere in the lower 48.
