Though the club was consistently terrible on the field, posting nine straight losing seasons from 1990 through 1998, the organization was highly respected within Minor League Baseball. The Midland Angels earned Baseball American’s Bob Freitas Award as the nation’s most outstanding Class AA franchise for the 1995 season.

Anderson Giants
April 20, 2022
The Anderson Giants were a South Carolina-based minor league baseball team that played one season in the Class A Western Carolinas League during the summer of 1972. Despite the club’s chosen name, the Anderson Giants were not a farm team of the San Francisco Giants, but rather a so-called “co-op” team made up of low-level prospects loaned out by various Major League organizations. Co-op teams were typically weak performers and the Anderson Giants were no exception, finishing their only season in last place.
