The coronavirus outbreak may be strike three for Major League Baseball's Burlington Bees.
All 30 major league teams, including the Angels, support cutting 42 minor league teams, Wolf said.
The Bees are also an economic engine that supports 180 full-time jobs in Des Moines County and generates, directly and indirectly, $4.7 million in wages, officials there said. Ernst added,"Our minor league teams are important sources of community pride and are key contributors to our local economies and charitable causes."
"They're very passionate about coming out and rooting for their team," Stanley said of Bees fans."They're getting behind the fact that they can enjoy baseball in their hometown." "They follow the players from team to team, especially the fans who first saw you play on the minor league team," he said."We owe a great debt to the fans who show up and watch us play. They were rooting for us to get to the major leagues."
