The Frontier League Flos Backward

The world of steaming is ever-changing, this is especially true when the streaming in question is associated with unaffiliated baseball. One of the best developments last year was that the Frontier League, FRON, finally went and developed a streaming service of their own. For $50 fans gained access to every single game, including the playoffs. […]

Where Are the Managers of Color?

For over three years now I have had a certain topic sitting in my note of things to write about. For a while, I avoided the topic because while I thought it was worthwhile, I wasn’t sure if I was the one to write it. Then I kept putting the topic off because I wasn’t […]
