brodeurrocks Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 When I first saw the thread title I thought it might be something the local Independent Norther League might have pulled off.....I guess this is the reality of indy ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the LWBC are Class A low of the Phils. The name of their league is, the South Atlantic League (SAL) In minor league baseball the order goes: AAA AA A high A low rookie league I'm pretty sure thats how it is. blueclaws.com south atlantic league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short season leagues are the NY Penn League and the Northwest league. Teams like the Staten Island Yankees and the Brooklyn Cyclones.
