Quote of the Day

By our unofficial count, over half of the people there were wearing Texas Rangers jerseys and hats in Spartanburg, South Carolina. And so I think one of the things that has been very beneficial to MLB and to the 30 teams is we're creating fandom across these 120 communities.
-- Diamond Baseball Holdings Exec Chair Pat Battle, on moving Rangers’ High-A affiliate, Hub City Spartanburgers, to Spartanburg, S.C. and creating fandoms in more communities.
