Missing the minor league season last year also meant missing the fall tradition of handing out awards to the minor leaguers and staff members, which come with the perks of a free trip to Seattle, a night in a cushy hotel, and a little on-field pre-game ceremony. It’s a sweet reward for minor leaguers and staff members who have spent the year eating peanut butter from economy-sized jars and sleeping on buses. Usually the ceremony is pretty low-key, but this year, given at least one of the recipients, there promises to be somewhat more of a buzz at T-Mobile Park on October 2nd when these players are honored.
