Welcome to awards season at Bus Leagues! Once again, we will have nine to hand out: Full-season, Short-season and Independent League Player, Starter and Reliever of the Year. These players are the best of the best of minor league baseball, except for the short-season starter I forgot to put on the ballot and didn’t realize until it was too late. Voting works like the college football polls. Voters selected five players from a list...

I love mascots. I am officially outing myself. And why shouldn’t I love mascots? They are fun. They’re like Michael Bay movies. They are entertaining.
