In my opinion just about everything about the Frontier League, and most all independent leagues, is just a lot of convoluted nonsense that ii is not worth trying to analyze. If you do it for fun that’s fine but it seems nothing more than just a passtime activity to me. Chris, you said it yourself when you stated “having nothing better to do”..
As for me, I choose to sit back and watch the games and not analyze anything that happens. No matter how you cut it – this is just glorified college baseball at most where the players are just having an extended career but with a small paycheck as a reward. Nothing less – nothing more.

Think I will take your advice Anonymous and not analayze anything ... high schools, colleges, pros, etc. Probably eliminates the need for this blog. Makes my job easier, too.

Isn't all minor league ball glorified college baseball? I've seen some college baseball this year and I hope the Wild Things games are better. Seen too many errors, walks bad baserunning and boneheaded plays. Must be a down year for college baseball.

Chris, I always appreciate your "more in depth look" into the league in your blogs. I would suspect that the majority of your readers do as well. Interesting perspectives. I have my own as well. If your schedule allows, maybe we can get a bite to eat when I am in town and talk about the league when I am there in a few weeks.

I did not mean that nobody should not analyze whatever sport they wish. I simply stated my view that it serves no real purpose. Why do I feel that way? Because stats seem to remove the human factor.. Now, if anybody wants to analyze, have at it, knock yourself out and I have NO problem with it at all.
Don't be offended so easily.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your insight. Attendance on the FL website says over 2,000 last night. Did not look like that many, and you eluded to that on twitter as well. After seeing 11 openers, how many would you guess were there.
Thanks

Probably about 1,800 in park.

Not too good a start attendance wise for opening night. I think that the candle that was the Wild Things just might be flickering a bit.

My wife and I attended the opener, and we were both impressed with the new and improved Wild Things team and ownership. Although the concession prices are high, we ate before we entered the park, and only purchased a soft pretzel (which was terrible). The on field MC did OK, but it was a shame his mike kept cutting off. Mr. Dawson shook hands and posed for pictures, and old friendships were renewed (people whom you haven't seen since last season). With only 4 games played, and the team 3-1, we can only hope for a winning season, and more fans in the stands.

And congrats to Chris Dugan and radio Randy for there respective awards.
