All-Star Game Season in the Bus Leagues

With the Florida State League All-Star Game in the books, it’s time to check out when the next gathering of Bus Leagues stars will be. Logic might suggest a pattern, with the lowest minors playing first and all the All-Star Games leading up to the Major League All-Star Game on July 13th.

But that would make too much sense. I am not sure if there is a pattern, it is more like a general “season”, like rabbit season or duck season or duck season or rabbit season.

But anyway, here is the All-Star schedule. Although I won’t be attending any more of the games, I’ll try to post the rosters and the results as we go along.
