After the Winter League in Hawaii folded up after the 1997 season, someone decided a Maryland Fall League was viable. It lasted a year. But the team in Bowie was called the Bowie Nationals and featured a lanky catching prospect named Jayson Werth.

Wait, I saw Ian Desmond playing in Hawaii one year, probably 2006.  MASN televised some games.
