Baseball Season and Minor League Parks

Spring marks the beginning of another baseball season, and for many, it’s time to head out to the diamond. Minor league baseball parks across the country, including North Carolina, become home to players hoping to make it big, as well as young employees hoping to begin a career in sports.

Breaking into the Business

Ryan McGee, now a reporter for ESPN, started his career in sports by doing everything possible to break into the business in 1994. He found a job with the Asheville Tourists, which turned out to be the perfect opportunity to experience the hectic, joyous, and romantic life of working in America’s pastime. McGee shares his story in his new book, “Welcome to the Circus of Baseball: A Story of the Perfect Summer at the Perfect Ballpark at the Perfect Time.”
