It's not quite summer yet, and that's perfectly fine. But the crack of the bats can be heard all across the country and all across Texas.
Sure, in Texas there's the Rangers and Astros, but if you can't get to Dallas or Houston with ease, chances are, no matter where you live in the state, you are still an hour or less away from a pro game, albeit a minor league team. But the thing about the minors is that they can often be funnest games. With promotions, fan-friendly, family-friendly entertainment and affordable tickets, a trip to the ballpark can be a great way to spend an evening. Plus, since it's a smaller park, and the teams love to cater to the fans, it's easy to meet players, and get autographs. Not every minor league player turns out to be a Lance Berkman, Ian Kinsler or other big stars, but they all have potential and its easier to get those autographs when they have potential in the minor than when they are using that potential in the majors.
The next few weeks, we'll look at some of the minor league teams around the state, and try to give you all the info you need for a good trip to the ballpark.
