Baseball fans in the Charlotte area have more to cheer about than they might know. Besides the Minor League Baseball Triple-A Charlotte Knights, there are two Single-A teams, a team in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball (an independent baseball league that’s an official MLB Partner League), and multiple teams of college ballplayers who compete in the Southern Collegiate Baseball League.
At a Knights game you can watch ballplayers who are a heartbeat from the Majors. The other teams feature players trying to make a name for themselves as they rise through the baseball ranks.
