Jo Adell’s debut with the AZL Angels

An Arizona Rookie league game is a familiar but unique experience. It’s familiar because it’s the same baseball game you see everywhere being played in the summer with a 7 p.m. start time by boys and young men with dreams, mostly from the United States and Dominican Republic.

It’s also familiar because these young men are wearing the uniforms of major league baseball teams you’ll see each night around the country. And finally, it’s played in some familiar Cactus League stadiums many you have been to before, with such names as HoHoKam, Camelback Ranch and Tempe Diablo.
