Spring Training is nearly here, so I'm going to post some of my favorite baseball photos from last years. I was fortunate enough to shoot a range of Minor League teams, from the Brooklyn Cyclones and Hudson Valley Renegades in the Class A short season New York-Penn League to the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs and Gwinnett Braves in the International League. In between, I saw South Atlantic teams such as the Lakewood Blue Claws and Double-A teams like the Trenton Thunder and Richmond Flying Squirrels.

Minor League Baseball is more than just see ball, hit ball. It's about young players honing their talent, families attending ballparks together and teams showcasing their creativity with near-seen-before promotions to make Minor League Baseball the best entertainment package in sport today.
