If you were to go back and look at the history of independent baseball since 1993, you would notice that there are certain periods when the industry goes through a “musical chairs” phase where teams leave one league to join another league, certain teams talk about defection, leagues talk about merging, and new leagues talk about forming.
Here are some recent news examples of what has been publicly stated and some foreshadowing of what might be yet to come:

If you are a prospective professional baseball player, or if you have previous independent (or international) professional playing experience, then you may be considering getting instruction and increasing your exposure to professional teams through a fall league or winter league. In the previous post you found out about a Winter league which plays in Arizona. If it is better for you to play in a Fall League then here is information about the Fall league sponsored by the Alexandria Aces of the Continental Baseball League:

The league will play its first season starting in September, and it will be called the Louisiana Fall League. If you do not have time to read the information on the link provided then call the Aces at (318) 473-ACES (2237).
If you want to increase your exposure and be notified of other independent baseball tryouts then be sure to join the database which gets your name out to general managers, managers, and league executives across all of the independent baseball leagues.

If you are a prospective professional baseball player, and you want to improve your chances of getting better (and possibly signed) over the next few months then you may wish to consider participating in one of the for-pay independent baseball fall leagues or winter leagues. Over the next few days, blog posts will appear on how to get involved with these leagues and the benefits of considering each specific one.
To start, I spoke with a representative of the Golden League the other day. He is going to help oversee the Arizona Winter League which is one of the longest-running “Winter Leagues” in independent professional baseball. If you want to play in the Arizona Winter League, or if you want to become an intern and/or join the front office of these teams, then be sure to visit either website to get more information:
More information about pricing, the instructors, and registration information can be found here:

If you want information about many aspects of independent baseball, including useful information ONCE you become a player, be sure to join the appropriate database at http://www.IndependentMinorLeagueBaseball.com and choose the “I want to play professional baseball” link. If you are a parent of a prospective player then choose the option a few lines down, as there is information for you.
Thank you, and more information on other Fall Leagues will be posted soon.

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.
Some pages require to join the “Fan” page, the group, or add a particular team as a “friend” in order to access all of the publicly-available information.
