I worked in the Midwest League for four or five years and we received national exposure when our ballpark flooded, but it was nothing like this. Our original intent was regional, but this promotion has gone nationwide.
Staten Island (the Yankees' New York-Penn League affiliate) knew we were going to do this. They're planning to retaliate.
The real rivalry is intense, but this is minor-league baseball. It's supposed to be fun.
The first thing I want to get across is that in no way are we trying to denigrate the name of the Yankees. This is all in good fun.
