Your incomplete guide to the International League. The International League is made up of fourteen teams. They are divided into three divisions: the North, the South and the West. There are six teams in the North, four in the South, and four in the West.
Players listed are on rosters as of this morning, as found at milb.com. "Notables" is not a listing of top prospects, but rather a listing of names you might recognize, with an emphasis on ex-Twins.

Opening Day! I work 5am - noon, so I'll be back in time to see it and everything. Sure, it's Verlander-Worley, but it's still regular season baseball.

Brick Owens was a longtime major league umpire. His first name was Clarence. He got the nickname "Brick" after being hit by one while umpiring a game in Pittsburg, Kansas early in his career.
Mule Suttles is sometimes credited as the all-time Negro Leagues home run leader with 237. He swung a fifty-ounce bat.
One of the top second basemen in the history of the Mexican League, Moises Camacho played there from 1951-1975. He was known as the Rogers Hornsby of Mexico.
Their birthdays are not today, but we would like to recognize Luke Easter and Henry Easterday. There are seven players called "Bunny" and eight with the last name "Cross".

We had a guy find an outdated tag in our store yesterday. Honoring the tag wasn't good enough for him; he wanted an extra five-year warranty and 20% discount because of the "inconvenience." I guess I don't blame a guy for trying, but what a load.
