That's too punny for me to give up. So minor league.

Pearl, Mississippi is in Central Mississippi... not along the coast.
Biloxi now has a team with the nickname Shuckers... a beautiful new stadium right on the Gulf Coast beach within one block of the beautiful Beau Rivage casino... made a trip there last summer.
The only negative... minor leagues are now costing too much for admission... $11-14 in Biloxi... that's too much for a minor league game.
But my story gets worse... the cost of major league games... the best price you can get is $15-$20 for the nosebleed sections... hotel prices are out-of-sight, too.
My adorable wife... a real baseball fan, who can keep a great detailed scorebook like a real pro... and I are going to try to go to each major league park before we go to the happy hunting grounds... we only have about 9 stadiums left... sometimes this summer we will spend two weeks going to Minneapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Milwaukee and Toronto.
And the Good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise, we will head to Washington and Miami next year and complete this MLB project.
