how do you define semi-pro? There have been minor league teams as long as there have been major league teams.

And although the Browns were horrible that year, they weren't the worst team in the majors. That honor goes to the Boston Braves.

I like to sit outside, drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home I would be arrested, so I go to baseball games and fit right in.

You're right Jay, but I wouldn't call any team with Cy Young on it semi-pro. Menti
