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.

Brandon Erbe's time with the Orioles may be nearing an end. The 23-year-old will be eligible for free agency if he's not added back to the 40-man roster between now and early November. Baltimore born and bred, Erbe signed out of third round of the ’05 draft and put Class A ball behind him by the end of the ’08 season. However, he's pitched just 165 innings in the past three seasons (including 4 2/3 this year), and he's coming off labrum surgery in ’10.

    1 Dear Midwest League Fans: On behalf of Minor League Baseball and the Midwest League, I want to welcome you to the ballpark for another exciting season of Minor League Baseball! The 2019 season will see the opening of new ballparks in Amarillo, Texas; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Fayetteville, North Carolina, and based on the success of Minor League Baseball’s Hispanic/Latinx fan engagement initiative, Copa de la Diversión, that program will expand from 33 to 72 teams as our teams expand their efforts to be more representative of their communities. While you may see some new logos and team identities this spring and summer, what remains the same is the quality, affordable family entertainment in a clean and safe environment that is a staple of Minor League Baseball across the country. With 20 leagues and more than 250 clubs, Minor League Baseball is where you will find the next generation of baseball’s brightest stars on their way to the big leagues. You just might be watching the next Kris Bryant in South Bend tonight, the next Mike Trout in Cedar Rapids or the next Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in Lansing! The Midwest League has a long history of clubs making a difference in their communities while also providing a great product on the field and in the stands. The Midwest League was the most charitable of our leagues when it comes to giving back to its communities as the 16 clubs made gift in‐kind contributions of over $6 million in 2018! Minor League Baseball also remains an integral part of the sports landscape, and of the communities it represents.
