    I love baseball and am fascinated by its history. This video has not so much to do with baseball and more the business of operating a successful minor league team- the history of the Omaha Royals is just breezes through, and it mostly just focuses on the business.

    At a time when Major League Baseball is wanting to eliminate 42 Minor League Baseball teams. This brings a fresh view at the history and importance of MiLB in our communities and its impact on the MLB teams we love. #SaveMiLB
