How cool would it be to have ESPN, the MLB Channel, Fox, WGN, Comcast (Insert any other network to broadcast an NL game) include a little logo of the CFCL team a player is associated with when they come to bat?
Being blessed (yes, I said blessed - SERENITY NOW!) with four active children it’s hard to find the time to commit to memory which player is on what CFCL team. Some are obvious to me – Fukudome (former Rebel) was drafted by the Ruffins (Cub Fan) so there are a couple of connections to help me remember.
But guys like Santana? Manny? Pujols? Not a clue without looking it up. And then to add in players that prior to the draft I had never heard of (Josh Kinney? Danny Murphy? – there are reasons the Rebels will not be staying in 2nd place this season), it’s tough to know which team is being successful on a highlight by highlight basis.
With the CFCL team logos, the information would be right in front of us and obviously help us learn each others teams much more efficiently than looking it up on Sportsline.
Now batting, Derrek Lee and next to the line that shows .197 batting average, 2 homeruns and six rbis there would be a Candy Colored Clowns logo.
I bet you in today’s world of technology there would be a way to get that done. How cool would that be? Immediately you could cheer or groan if the batter made an out or batted in a run. “Sweet! Utley of the Red Hots (oh yeah, also the Phillies) just drove in a run which puts the Hots an RBI ahead of Kenndoza, which brings the Line one point closer to me!”
From there it’s just a short step to the post-game interview where Ryan Howard thanks God for the opportunity to let him play at this level, the Phillie fans for their support and the Rebel organization for signing him this year and making him feel welcome.
