Although Major League Baseball tends to get the most attention, we can’t forget the fun and vibrant world of the minor leagues.

In this article, we go on a state-by-state journey to showcase all minor league baseball teams by state. We also provide some interesting FAQs at the bottom about minor league baseball across America.
