What are the odds of Major League Baseball coming to Charlotte? Nashville, Tennessee is the latest city to make their bid for a Major League Baseball team. Although they are on the waiting list, Charlotte seems to always fall pretty short of getting one of our own.

Queen City News reports that sports experts say it is a possibility that we could get a Major League Baseball team right here in Charlotte. Rick Curti, with the Charlotte Bats, wonders if Washington D.C. already has three, why can’t Charlotte have one? I am sure we can all agree that many in Charlotte would love for us to have an MLB team of our own. According to the report, baseball is not all that MLB will have to consider if they look into Charlotte. The last time that the MLB expanded was in the 90s. That is quite some time, but hopefully one day Charlotte can be next. Charlotte is a pretty fast-growing city, so maybe one day the MLB will make its way to us.

Do You Know Every North Carolina Minor League Baseball Team?

Baseball is widely regarded as America’s pastime. Without a major league team closer than Atlanta or DC minor league baseball takes the stage in North Carolina. So it’s a good thing that we have plenty of North Carolina minor league baseball teams to be a fan of! It can seem like there are so many teams that it’s hard to make sense of what they all mean. It seems like every town has a baseball team. Are they all the same level?

The short answer is no. Minor league baseball is made up of several different levels. These are used for player development and getting players ready to hopefully one day compete in the “big leagues”. Each major league team has 4 minor league teams affiliated with them for a total of 120 teams in the country. Additionally, there are other independent baseball leagues that players can play in and fans can take in games.

Minor league baseball can be a fun and relatively inexpensive outing for families and friend groups alike. Most tickets are very affordable with fun promotions as well as food and drink specials. North Carolina is home to 10 official minor league teams in the triple A, high A, and single A levels. We also have 5 independent baseball teams. Keep reading to learn a little about each of the teams, where they are located, their major league affiliate, and their level!
