The Desert Dogs made a late inning rally, adding two runs during the ninth, but it wasn’t enough to edge the undefeated Javelinas.

The 2011 TBL Annual the TBL baseball annual Welcome to the 2011 TBL Baseball Annual. This is the sixteenth year of the Annual in the book format, and we welcome the talents of Mark “Boomer” Bloom to our staff. This year’s book has the features you’re accustomed to reading, and this year each team writ- eup includes a player we’ve designated as The Franchise. Some are current players, while others are from the team’s past . sometimes when the team was in a different place. We imagine that this will lead to some interesting discussions. We also feature entertaining articles by Joe Auletta and Mark Freedman, comments from the Commissioner, and a dedicatory poem on Bob Feller from the talented Jim Dietz. We also bring back Grantland Rice to memorialize the late, great Harmon Killebrew. As always, it’s probably as much fun to write as it is to read.

  • Minor League Transactions: Sept. 26-Oct. 2
    Minor League Transactions: Sept. 26-Oct. 2 • The first wave of free agents entered the marketplace on Oct. 1 as 43 players elected free agency, the majority of them under Article XX(D) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. It reads in part: “Any player who has at least three years of major league service, or who qualified as a “Super Two” player . and whose contract is assigned outright to a minor league club may elect, in lieu of accepting such assignment, to become a free agent. In the event that such a player with at least three years of major league service does not elect free agency in lieu of accepting such assignment, he may elect free agency between the end of the then current major league season and the next following Oct. 15, unless such player is returned to a major league roster prior to making such election.” • The recalls in this installment are paperwork moves owing to the fact that, with the minor league season and playoffs concluded, players can no longer be sent on optional assignments. According to MLR 11(b)4 “A Major League Club may recall a player not to report after the conclusion of the championship season of the Minor League Club to which the player is on optional assignment but no later than October 1” Arizona Diamondbacks Signed: RHP Seth Lintz (Laredo (American Association)), RHP Dustin Loggins (Kansas City (American Association)), RHP Jacob Roberts (Bridgeport (Atlantic)), LHP Sean Mahley (Schaumburg (Frontier)), OF Dan Bowman (Lake Erie (Frontier)), OF Steve McQuail (Schaumburg (Frontier)) Elected free agency:
