Tomorrow going to see the Birmingham Barons host the Biloxi Shuckers. Birmingham was awarded the 2018 Southern League All-Star game, and to celebrate, tomorrow is a promotion event where they are giving out pretty cool looking t-shirts celebrating the 2018 Southern League All-Star Game. It's also sponsored by Wind Creek Casino (you know all these minor league giveaways always have somebody's logo on it), and I happen to think it's a pretty cool looking sponsor, too.
Later this month I'll be attending a game in Pensacola, where the Pensacola Blue Wahoos are hosting--yes, the Biloxi Shuckers again. I've always wanted to go to a Blue Wahoos game. We go "fairly" often to Pensacola, and I've never made it work, but this time the stars seem aligned. Gotta get me some Blue Wahoo apparel.
We had a thread a year or two ago about Minor League Baseball hats and such that you either owned or thought looked cool. I had some from places like the Space Coast, Brevard County Manatees; the Durham Bulls (go figure), the Birmingham Barons, that I really liked. Unfortunately, I don't think the "Barons" pass the "cool" test, although certainly, they are my favorite team. At the time there were two minor league teams that I really wanted to land, with a third right behind:
a) Pensacola Blue Wahoos. Should be able to land that one this summer.
b) Biloxi Shuckers. Something about oysters as your mascot is appealing in a funky, minor league kinda way that appeals to me a lot. But I'd prefer to get it at a game they host, so I'll have to look for a road trip.
c) Montgomery Biscuits.
Love all three names. Can't wait.
