Yep. They're Single A. That's the Suns now. We just traded with the Mets (who had the Suns before us).

New Orleans Zephyrs. But they're a Marlins affiliate now. The Potomac Nationals are at the same level as the Zephyrs were.

I remember Frankie V from the Mets, and he looked more like the guy on the right. (Ah, time, thief of etc)

I've told the story of my only college baseball game before - Viola v Darling in the NCAA regionals.

No.

The Potomac Nats are full season, High A ball. Carolina League.

Hagerstown is is fiull season, Low A, South Atlantic League.

The New Orleans Zephyers are AAA. Our AAA affiliate is the Syracuse Chiefs.
