IMHO, baseball in person is a totally different species than watching on TV and minor league ball is special on its own. First, so many of the players really do bust their butts 'cuz they're trying to make 'the show.' Then too, you don't pay a ton to get in and you're close to the action. You can see the whole field and watch the subtlties of the game(unlike football, where I defy anyone to really be able to see what's going on without the aid of a jumbotron and replay.) It's best to go with folks so you can shoot the sh*t while the game unfolds. If only the beer we're so overpriced.
