Key takeaway Bruce Meyer, who took over when Tony Clark was forced out in February, said the sport was thriving despite assertions by Major League Baseball that massive change is needed.
Why this matters in The San Antonio
San Antonio residents who follow baseball are likely aware of the ongoing debate between the players' union and Major League Baseball management.
