Meet The Best Baseball, Minor League Baseball

Minor League Baseball games are one of America's greatest things. Hidden in the shadows of Major League Baseball teams, their big stadiums, their media coverage, and their prime-time showings, the Minor Leagues are a much more fan-friendly, unique, and fun experience. Plus, it's a lot cheaper and easier to access/leave these games, as parking lots are almost always right outside the gates. Since Atlanta is the only Major League Baseball team near West Georgia, there are a plethora of Minor League Baseball teams to see that are just a drive away! Let's check out those teams and how far they are from West Georgia!

1. Rome Braves - State Mutual Stadium

Located 58.4 miles from UWG, the Rome Braves are the closest minor league team to the campus of the Wolves. The Rome Braves are a much cheaper alternative to the Braves, as parking, concessions, and tickets are generally cheaper than the Atlanta Braves.

2. Gwinnett Braves - Coolray Field

Coolray Field is located only 88.1 miles from UWG. The Gwinnett Braves are on the other side of Atlanta, but they field a team that is almost as good as the Atlanta Braves themselves. Currently, you can see several of the Braves top prospects in Gwinnett, as they make their last stop before the big leagues.

3. Birmingham Barons - Regions Field

The Barons just moved to this stadium in the past few years, leaving fans with a new backdrop of downtown Birmingham. The Barons are just 120 miles from UWG, leaving this as a good drive down I-20 to enjoy a long evening.

4. Chattanooga Lookouts - AT&T Field

The Lookouts, 132 miles from UWG, are literally in the middle of mountains. With a very intimate feel to the stadium, the Lookouts put you right on top of all the action. With a good view, good weather, and close proximity to players, this is a great place to visit!

5. Montgomery Biscuits - Riverwalk Stadium

Located off the back of an old train depot, the Biscuits are one of the coolest teams you'll ever come across. They are located down I-85, 140 miles from UWG! Make a weekend out of it, there's plenty to do in Montgomery! Why wouldn't you want to see this team? They're the Biscuits, how cool is that?!

6. Greenville Drive - Fluor Field

The Drive are a little ways from the beautiful campus of UWG, to the tune of 198 miles, but this is absolutely a trip worth making. Make it an entire baseball weekend! Visit the Drive, the Shoeless Joe museum, and if they're in town, visit Clemson baseball!


Take a chance and visit a minor league game this summer! They'll full of cool promotions, theme nights, and other various things to do! Take a look at their schedules, their promotions, and find a night that is right for you and your friends!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
