Understand thought the MLB draft is American and Canadians only and there is 50 rounds plus compensatory rounds 1500+ players get drafted from High schools and College Jr's and Sr's. Vandy had 14 eligible player for the draft. Still a talented team and several signee's were drafted also.

It looks like the clowns across the river are going to be standing around for the bulk of three hours and occasionally doing strenuous physical activity while being filmed constantly.
Ah good. I was wondering cause I know Nashville doesn't have a team.
Not a pro team. We've got a minor league team. The Sounds. I've been to a few of those games. Like I said, I'm not a huge fan of baseball as a whole but it can be a fun experience just to go see a game and do the whole beer and a hotdog thing.

Minor league is professional. I wonder how often people fail to make that distinction, and if that alters their perception of the minors.
Personally, I never developed much of an attachment to the Sounds, and never really went to a lot of games. I do love baseball, though, it's a great sport (although I don't really think there's such a thing as a "bad" sport). We've got a rookie league team here in Johnson City (a total of four teams in the Tri Cities, plus one in Greeneville), and you will not find better entertainment for $4 anywhere.
I don't understand why people don't bother with minor league baseball. It's the best entertainment value in all of sports. Rookie league general admission is $4-6 a head, and most AA teams don't charge more than $10 for reserved seating on game day. Shoot, you could get season tickets for the Sounds for less than $8 a game this year.
I can understand why people wouldn't want to - Greer Stadium isn't exactly a state-of-the-art facility - but what else are sports fans going to do during the summer? Sit around and pick their noses waiting for Chris Johnson to sneeze?
Hate all those teams. (well I only dislike the yankees)
For the first time in 18 years I'm still enjoying baseball in July.....LET'S GO BUCS!!
Im a Reds fans so the Pirates were once only behind the Dodgers on the hate list(you can tell I was a kid in the 70s) but they have sucked for so long I kinda feel sorry for them now. If the Reds cant rally in the last half of the season I just hope the Pirates or Brew crew pull through and it isnt the damn Cardinals, again...
