Are any Ags on any of the rosters for this league yet. I know Shew was initially on one roster, but went to the National team instead. edit: Looks like Joz, Miller, KKKKKalich, and Deloach are on the rosters..

Has anyone ever been up to these games before? Considering a last minute road trip to catch a few games once the season starts 06/10.

Kalich will be on a minor league team soon.

Some of the Cape Cod teams have not posted rosters and at least one will not post until opening day.

Kalich was at Chatham

DeLoach and Miller are at Falmouth

Joz is at Brewster

Brazos Valley in the Texas Collegiate League has:

Chris Weber and Joseph Menefee

And Cam Haller (remember him?)

I have always wondered who coaches these teams? How are players selected for these leagues? Does Rob make phone calls? I've read too many glowing reports of Aggies in summer leagues that didn't translate to performance in conference.

I dont know but I do know that at least one top notch Aggie pitching prospect goes to the same Alaska League team each year (Mat-su Miners in Parmer AK). The pitcher this year is Birdsell but he is transferring to San Jac.

Aaron Walters will be there this year also.

Mason Corbett will play for Chugiak this summer.

Who pays the bills for summer ball......Alaska isn't cheap.

The team will have local families that host the players which is a big cost that's offset. I assume they are able to get jobs too though I don't remember if that's something the team coordinates as well.

Its a long drive to Alaska.

One of my good friends went to A&M because Chuck Knoblach stayed with the family while he played in this league

Did you mean Palmer?

I went about 5 years ago and Trying to get a trip up next month. My advice - go. I spent 4 days there and was able to see 4 games. Drove the cape and saw all the parks. Some old legion parks, some are high school parks. Some didn't have lights. Well worth the trip in my opinion. Met a couple of Ags (other than the players).

Thanks. based on what I have researched, its a change to watch high end baseball in close proximity at facilities with a few rows of bleachers. I'm sure my boys will enjoy the games, as well as the cape in general.

Are there any stats out there that show taking the summer off and becoming a gym rat maybe more beneficial? I feel like our team is constantly under-sized compared to some of the other teams out there. I know keeping body weight on during season is tough and being gone all summer can't help.

That leaves 5 months in the fall to bulk up and get ready.

you can actually watch multiple games per day depending on the schedule.

Of the stadiums I attended, Chatham was the best. I think we got to Orleans, Brewster, and Harwich as well.

Alaska is pretty neat. On June 21, the longest day of the year the Fairbanks Goldpaner's play a game that starts at 10:30 pm and goes until about 1:30...............with no lights!

It really is the Land of the Midnight sun. Actually the sun does set for about an hour but there is enough twilight to play.
