What’s new as Minor League Baseball returns in 2021?
Brooklyn Cyclones to debut Tuesday in Asheville
After more than a year of waiting, fans of minor-league baseball are finally getting baseball back.
“Small-town baseball, it’s the fabric of the United States,” Brooklyn Cyclones manager Ed Blankmeyer said. “It’s a culture.”
Minor league teams across the country are set to open their seasons today, returning baseball to communities denied the old national pastime during the coronavirus pandemic. For the Cyclones, the first game to be played will take place in Asheville, N.C., on Tuesday, but the first home game at MCU Park will take place on May 18 against Hudson Valley.
