Q: What is the Arizona Fall League (AFL)? A: Major League Baseball created the Arizona Fall League in 1992 to serve as an off-season “graduate school” for top prospects. The AFL often is known as a showcase league because its players have the opportunity to display their skills for baseball scouts, general managers and farm directors. For baseball fans, it’s a 40-day Valley of the Sun homestand featuring many of baseball’s elite prospects. Q: How many players have played in the Arizona Fall League? A: The Fall League welcomed its 3000th player in 2009. Over 1800 former Fall Leaguers have reached the big leagues, meaning approximately 60 percent of players assigned to the Fall League reach the major leagues. Q: What is the genesis of the Arizona Fall League? A: Long-time baseball executive, current special assistant to the president of the Arizona Diamondbacks, and Phoenix resident Roland Hemond is considered the “Architect of the Fall League.” His dream to create a six-week off-season league for baseball’s top prospects in Arizona each fall became reality when the Arizona Fall League began play in 1992 after he spent two years selling the concept to baseball’s hierarchy — first general managers, then owners. After veteran baseball front- office executive Mike Port shepherded the Fall League through its maiden voyage in 1992, former Cincinnati Reds traveling secretary and -A Columbus Clippers’ executive Steve Cobb was hired as the Fall League’s director. Q: Who oversees the Arizona Fall League? A: Major League Baseball owns and operates the Arizona Fall League. Cobb has been the director since 1993. Major League Baseball’s Arizona Fall League oversight committee is comprised of two team general managers, Michael Hill (Marlins), and Tony Reagins (Angels), Cleveland team president Mark Shapiro and long-time baseball executive Terry Ryan who currently serves the Twins as special advisor to the general manager. Q: How are the teams assembled? A: Each major league organization sends seven players to the Arizona Fall League. Five-organization groupings comprise the six AFL teams. Q: Where is the Arizona Fall League located? A: During its season, the Arizona Fall League is housed in the spring-training offices of the Oakland Athletics at Phoenix Municipal Stadium. Phoenix Municipal Stadium, 5999 E.

Camelback Road #850, Phoenix, AZ 85016 Office: 602-281-7250 Q: Who is eligible to play in the Arizona Fall League? A: Roster size is 35 players, including 20 (15 designated “eligible” each game day), per team. No game will exceed 11 innings — the “Robinson Rule.” Games tied after 11 innings will be considered suspended. They will not be made up but statistics will count. Each major-league organization is required to provide seven players, subject to the following eligibility requirements: • All Triple-A and -A players are eligible provided they are on Triple-A and Double-A rosters no later than August 16. • Two players below the Double-A level are allowed for 2010. • Foreign players are allowed as long as the player is not on his native country’s primary protected player list. • No players with more than two years of credited major league service as of August 31 (including major league disabled list time) are eligible except a team may select one player picked in the most recently concluded Major League . • To be eligible, players on minor league disabled lists must be activated at least 45 days before the conclusion of their respective seasons. Q: What is the league’s schedule? A: The six AFL teams each play a 32-game schedule from October 12-November 18. The fifth “Rising Stars Game” will be played at Surprise Stadium at 6:15 p.m. on Saturday, November 6. The league championship game is scheduled for 12:45 p.m. on Saturday, November 20 at Scottsdale Stadium. Q: Do Fall League rosters include foreign-born players?

A: Yes, the designated hitter is utilized in all Fall League games. Q: What contributions has the Fall League made to baseball off the field? A: Twenty-seven former AFL managers and players have become major-league managers, including 12 during the 2010 season — (Reds), Daren Brown (Mariners), Terry Francona (Red Sox), Fredi Gonzalez (Marlins), Trey Hillman (Royals), A.J.

Thirty-four umpires were in the major leagues in 2010 as well. Fifty-one percent of 2010 MLB umpires received specialized training in the Arizona Fall League before reaching the major leagues.

A: Visit www.mlbfallball.com for updated Arizona Fall League information. Q: Does the Arizona Fall League offer social networking? A: Follow the Arizona Fall League via Facebook.com/mlbfallball and Twitter.com/mlbazfallleague. Q: What impact has the Arizona Fall League had on Major League Baseball? A: As the Arizona Fall League stages its 19th season, the contribution the league has made to major-league baseball is undeniable. Nearly 60 percent of Fall League players — over 1,800 — have become major leaguers, including over 70 players from a year ago who reached the big leagues in 2010. On average, 75-100 Fall Leaguers appear in the major leagues the following season. There were 438 former Fall Leaguers on MLB rosters in 2010, including six from the 2009 Fall League. One hundred fifty-nine ex-Fall Leaguers have been named to major league all-star teams. In the past five seasons, the major-league all-star teams included 23 AFL alums in 2005, 30 in 2006, 24 in 2007, 36 in 2008, 38 in 2009, and a record 45 in 2010.

Q: What is the Fall League ticket information? A: Tickets are priced at $6 for adults, $5 for seniors (55+) and youth (17 and under), and $3 for groups of 20 or more. For group tickets and information, call 602-681-9362. Tickets may be purchased on game day at the respective ball park ticket offices beginning one hour prior to game time. There are no advance ticket sales. All seating is general admission. Gates open one hour prior to first pitch. Game times and special appearances are subject to change. Q: Does the Fall League institute different rules to determine pitching decisions? A: Yes. Fall League officials identified an inequity in the opportunity for starting pitchers to earn wins due to the limited number of innings pitched. Beginning in 2007, the Fall League adopted baseball’s scoring rule (10.17c) for non- championship competition such as the All-Star Game. Simply stated, the mandatory five- minimum for starting pitchers to earn a win is waived. The winning pitcher is at the discretion of the official scorer. Major League Rule 10.17(c) “A league may designate a non-championship game (for example, the Major League All-Star Game or an exhibition game) for which Rules 10.17 (a) (1) and 10.17(b) do not apply. In such games, the official scorer shall credit as the winning pitcher that pitcher whose team assumes the lead while such pitcher is in the game, or during the inning on offense in which such pitcher is removed from the game, and does not relinquish such lead, unless such pitcher is knocked out after the winning team has attained a commanding lead and the official scorer concludes that a subsequent pitcher is entitled to credit as the winning pitcher.” First-Round Draft Choices 2010 Pos.
