Leo: News, Notes, Major League Playoffs!

October means the Major League playoffs are underway, and once again there are former Clippers playing some serious roles. Clippers historian Joe Santry will tell you that a former Columbus player has participated in almost every World Series in history!

The most noticable former Clippers are obviously wearing pinstripes for Joe Girardi’s Yankees. Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, and Robinson Cano are all searching for yet another championship. I’ll compile a full list of former Clippers once the league championship series’ roll around…

Other items of note…

* The Scranton Wilkes-Barre Yankees have solved their stadium problems. They’ll play “home” games for next season. They’ll play at various sites while PNC Field is undergoing renovations.

* The Arizona Fall League is starting Tuesday. Clippers on the Phoenix Desert Dogs roster include Chad Huffman, Tim Fedroff, Tyler Sturdevant, and Cory Burns.

* Joe Martinez has been named the International League Pitcher of the post-season by MILB.com.

* The Carolina Mudcats are now the Advanced-A affiliate of the Indians, replacing Kinston.

*The Akron Aeros will remain the Aeros.

* Clippers National Championship gear is now available online!

* I’ll be joining Fred McBride on WBNV 93.3FM in Cambridge for a special “Tribe Time” discussion on Tuesday morning… tune in!
