PHOENIX -- Darkness lies beyond the outfield wall at Five County Stadium in Zebulon, N.C., home of the Low-A Carolina Mudcats. It's such that most of Joey Wiemer’s home runs in 2021 had the effect of disappearing. And then there was the night the baseball appeared back on the field.

PHOENIX -- Top Brewers pitching prospect Ethan Small grew up a Cardinals fan in west Tennessee and did what most teenage Cardinals fans did around 2011. He wore an Albert Pujols jersey. So when Small found himself teammates with the legendary slugger in the Dominican Republic this winter, he tried
