Sacramento dynasty

Sacramento wins the Triple-A title, again. According to the article, it's tough to build a dynasty at the minor league level, but if anyone can do it, it's the Oakland A's organization. They're always in the process of building the farm teams.

I'm not sure if I'm surprised that the Yankees Triple-A team made it to the finals. On one hand, New York is not known for growing its own. On the other hand, Triple-A is often times where minor leaguers go to die, meaning a championship-caliber team at this level is not necessarily indicative of an organization's talent-level.

Hand it to Hill

Koyie Hill is one amazing story. If you haven't heard his yet, check this out. He's already succeeded in his career just making it back to the big leagues after the accident.

Makes me remember why I hated the jigsaw in shop class.
