Could there be a AA World Series?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #983 of 987 |
I enjoy the Double-A baseball immensely, and I feel close to the AA
ranks, as I live within reach of the Smokies (Southern League), and I
have a brother who lives within reach of the Baysox (Eastern League),
so I guess I'm fully equipped.

Over the past few years, I've had an idea taking batting practice in
my mind:

The Double-A World Series

Now I am aware of the legendary Dixie Series that was played for many
years, which featured the champions of both the Texas League and
Southern Association.

But this gig will feature, at least to me, anyway, the champions of
all of AA Baseball - Eastern, Southern, and Texas Leagues.

The series would be round-robin style:

Game 1: Eastern champion vs. Southern champion
Game 2: Southern champion vs. Texas champion
Game 3: Texas champion vs. Eastern champion

The first team to finish 2-0 will be champion.

In the event of two teams finishing atop the three, or all teams
finish 1-1, we then take each team's total number of runs scored,
multiply by 100, then divide by the total number of team's runs
allowed, and using that figure we take the top two with the best
figure, and have a one-game playoff.

The winner is AA Baseball World Champions!

We could even play it at Prince George's Stadium in Bowie, Maryland,
an appropriate site (capacity 10,000).

I want to hear from you on this idea, as I trust your judgement.

Send me a message, I'll listen.

Thank you very much.
