Baseball America posted an interesting story about an independent baseball pitcher who plays with an artificial hip… and dominates as a pitcher in the Golden League: http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/minors/independent-audit/2009/268611.html
Here’s hoping that affiliated teams find a way to make it work for all parties to everyone’s benefit.
If you are a prospective professional baseball player then here is the first posted set of independent baseball tryouts for the 2009 off-season: http://cblproball.com/cgi-bin/forms/tryouts.pl
The Continental Baseball League (with teams in Texas and Louisiana) is holding instructional tryouts, with the potential to be signed to a spring training contract, throughout the U.S. The first is scheduled for September 12-13 in Greensboro, NC and the next is scheduled for September 20 in Plano, TX (just north of Dallas). Check the link for eligibility requirements, registration fees, and additional date/time/location of other tryouts.

Although no one at IndependentMinorLeagueBaseball.com ever had any personal communication with John Odom, we still want to express our condolences to his family for their recent loss. May the family find peace during this time.
