If you are looking to get further into baseball, I would say MLB is the way to go. Don't get me wrong, I love minor league ball, and I go to probably a couple of dozen single A games each year. BUT, it's hard to talk about minor league baseball to most fans of the game, because there is no team or name recognition.

Think of it this way...
A) I say "Josh Hamilton" and most think, "He's a hell of a hitter, All-Star, had an awesome homerun derby, and he has a tremendous story behind him."

B) I say "Pierre LePage" and everyone says, "Who?" [He was drafted in the 13th round by the Cubs last summer and is currently my favorite Peoria Chief.]

Just my two cents!
