Jim Caple's "Baseball in my Backyard" Series

Seattle-based ESPN writer Jim Caple has completed a five-part series of articles about different levels of baseball "in his backyard." The series "Baseball in my Backyard" illustrates the tremendous differences between various levels of baseball, from the luxuries present in Major League Baseball to the struggles present in independent ball. If you are a baseball fan, or simply interested in the lifestyle of professional baseball players, Caple's series really shows how becoming a major league is truly and unglamorous road.

There are 5 articles, and each article has the link to the rest. I'll link my two favorite articles:

One Last Chance: profiles the Victoria team in the Golden Baseball League, an independent baseball league.

Life of Luxury in the Majors: profiles the Seattle Mariners Clubhouse
