Sobre IBD

Majoring in the Minors is Patrick M. Sullivan’s witty book about his quest to see baseball played in every minor-league stadium and played by every Minor League Baseball franchise. Along the way, he documents the ever-changing world of the minors, its new stadiums, its family fun, its crazy team nicknames, its wildly creative concession food, and, of course, the action on the baseball diamond. Sullivan offers a bit of history for each stadium and franchise – including tips on visiting and enjoying them. Majoring in the Minors is an ode to baseball lovers in the farthest corners of America and the fields that show off the talents of the players coming and going from the majors.  Sullivan, a veteran umpire, is also author of The “Good Call, Bad Call” Handbook, which answers the baseball fan’s question, “What just happened?”
