Covering Teams

This year, I had the chance to see about 20 different minor league teams live. Two of them I saw more than any.

The Kane County Cougars are 10 min from my house. This is where I base my operation to cover the Midwest League. In addition, I had the chance to call to game for the South Bend Silver Hawks. I am always objective when discussing these teams and the players associated with them but it is only natural to wish them well. I was disappointed to see the Kane County Cougars lose last night in the Midwest League playoffs not only because it gives me more game to cover, but it would have been nice to see them do well. On the flip side, I am very happy to see the South Bend Silver Hawks advance to the Division Finals. Midwest League Manager of the year Mark Haley is one of the most class acts I have ever met so to see him and his team do well is great.
