Read full article: Curve ball: How the Pulaski Yankees and Danville Braves aim to entertain with no baseball in 2020

The Pulaski Yankees, who was recognized as having best ballpark at the rookie level last summer, are putting the historic Calfee Park to use by engaging with fans. Minor league baseball and Calfee Park has been a part of Pulaski since 1935. Were not going to let Calfee Park stop being an entertainment venue this summer. Stadiums are being turned into Airbnbs, golf courses, disc golf and now thats going to trickle down to us now that we have the official notice that we dont have Braves games, Bennett said. So, what were going to be doing is looking for other things here at the park and stadium within the states guidelines.

Read full article: Possible Minor League Baseball realignment brings uncertainty for Appalachian League

Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball are negotiating the terms of its next contract, and a proposal by Major League Baseball could significantly alter the minors. Major League Baseball proposed eliminating 40 teams from the minor league ranks, which could put lower-level leagues such as the Appalachian League in jeopardy. "It's certainly eye-opening when somebody tells you they want to make a change like that," said Minor League Baseball Director of Communications Jeff Lantz. "Minor League Baseball is kind of like the front porch of our communities," Lantz said. Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball's current agreement runs through next September, so any drastic changes in any new deal will not impact this upcoming baseball season.
