While browsing through the pages of the "Boston Herald" I came across some interesting news. It's only a small notice but it seems that the Boston Red Sox have signed someone from Cologne (bottom of the page under the headline "Going Deutsch"). This will usually end up in a big story in our local newspaper here. Normally papers would write that some German player is going to the states and they would expect him to play on the major league level, not telling their readers that there are also smaller clubs and farm teams.
Now I know that there are Baseball teams in Cologne, the Cardinals are a first division team, there used to be the Cologne Dodgers as well, but I don't know if they are still around. I wasn't aware that the scouting system of MLB clubs also included German amateur teams.
Well, it will be interesting to see what will happen to that player.
