29 baseball fans have already weighed in on the 2026 MLFC Fan Experience Survey. I’m keeping it open for one more week before I start digging into the full results. If you went to or did not go to affiliated Minor League Baseball games this season, I still want to hear from you. What made you go more, go less, or decide a game was worth the money? minorleaguefanclub.com/is-mi…

It's a Hockey Day! Providence is in town for a Sunday matinee as our schedule looks like Hershey's. toplevelminors.com/2026/11/0…

Hockey Day In Allentown: Sunday, Fun Day!

It’s another “Kid’s Day” in the Queen City of Allentown, and a great day for hockey! But it’s also another early-season Sunday afternoon game.  We’re not Hershey…

By all appearances, if the Flyers get a couple healthy players back tomorrow. Cole Knuble will be loaned back to the Phantoms.

Apparently you need to go to a baseball game in Reading, PA to get a hot dog. I love this for them. The @ReadingFightins should make this their main marketing campaign TODAY.

Oh, I think we might have a true “checking line.” Doesn’t always work that way here in the American. Then again, maybe more than one…

To all the tailgaters in Milwaukee: slow the fuck down. You’ve been going hard since 10AM. The game isn’t for another 3.5 hours. You’re not going to remember it. @Brewers

Black turf I guessed right! Thank you for not choosing orange turf. I would have canceled my tickets to avoid the retinal damage.

Ok it was less for me this season—88 games versus 96 in 2025. I did the survey but perhaps I’m not the perfect target. For me I skipped traveling to other stadiums due to scheduling and gas prices.

Replying to @MiLB
@MiLB attendance fell in 2026. Instead of guessing why, I figured we should ask the fans. A @BaseballAmerica article got me thinking, so I wrote the first article on the new MLFC site and created a short fan survey. If you attended MiLB games this year, I’d love your perspective. Article + survey: minorleaguefanclub.com/2026/…

The last time the Milwaukee Brewers were in the World Series you could get 12 8-track tapes for only a dollar through The Gorman Thomas Tape Club®.

No Oliver Bonk for Lehigh Valley today in Allentown, likely meaning he'll be joining #Flyers in short order as has been reported. @InsideAHLHockey

Couple players could be headed back to Phantoms before next game on Saturday. Grans and Wilson?

Helge Grans also at practice in a regular jersey, so he could be getting closer to being cleared from his injury.
