The St. Paul Saints have become one of the most popular teams in the
Independent Leagues. There was once read an article on the
Independent Leagues in a baseball magazine. You guys who live near
Northern League teams have had the opportunity to see some greats:
Jack Morris, Rey Ordonez and Daryl Strawberry(we will focus on his
play and not his substance abuse). Hey FX once had a program on the
St. Paul Saints. Didn't the late Bill Veeck's son was an executive
for the Saints before moving onto the Tampa Bay Devil Rays? What
happened to Lia Borders of the Duluth-Superior Dukes? Taking about
Lia Borders, this is indeed a small world. I attended the same junior
high school that Lia attended, Whittier Chrisitan High School. I
rememver being in the 8th grade(1997) and the baseball coach Mr.
Esslinger was all hyped up about Lia playing in the professional
leagues.
