Many of the 2009 independent baseball teams have a presence on Facebook.com.  Here is a best-efforts list to create an easy-to-use resource where you can find a Facebook presence for every independent professional baseball team.

Note that some of these pages may be “fan” pages, and not officially endorsed or controlled by the actual team.  If so, please have a team (or league) representative contact me with the correct Facebook link; and then I will correct the link quickly.
