The Appalachian League is back to normal.
After playing the 2007 season with nine teams, the league recently announced that minor league baseball will return to Pulaski, Va. this summer.
Short-season players in the Seattle Mariners organization will call Pulaski home.
The return to an even number of teams allows the Appy League to return to a normal schedule. The league played with nine teams last season after Toronto pulled out of Pulaski in late 2006. League officials unsuccessfully tried to find a replacement for the 2007 season. Teams were forced to play a series of two-game sets last season, with one team always receiving a couple of days off.
It started looking bleak for putting a team in Pulaski for 2008 when a deal wasn’t announced during baseball’s winter meetings, held in early December in Nashville. The Mariners eventually signed the deal, giving Seattle seven minor league clubs.
Minor league baseball in Pulaski dates back to the 1940s. Prior to being a Blue Jays affiliate, Pulaski hosted players from the Rangers, Braves, Phillies and Cubs organizations.
The Pulaski Mariners will play in Calfee Park, one of the oldest ballparks in America. They open on the road at Princeton, W.V. Baseball finally returns to Calfee Park on June 20 when the Mariners host the Elizabethton Twins.
Spring music: Baseball fans headed to Florida for spring training should plan on being near Orlando on Feb. 22. Veteran rockers Seven Mary Three are holding a CD release party for their sixth album Day&NightDriving that weekend, playing an acoustic show on Friday night and an rock blowout at the House of Blues on Saturday.
They are offering a package that’s a tremendous value: 70 bucks gets tickets to both shows, a shirt and a copy of the CD. They did something similar two years a to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the release of their debut album. The Dugout had a blast. Great people, great music. More on this as the date approaches.
Down the street from 7m3’s acoustic show on the 22nd, Lucero will take the stage with their hard-driving style of southern rock. One of the best bands few have heard, the Memphis-based quartet puts on a fantastic show.
The Dugout is already trying to find a way to catch both shows.
