Used To Be A Cool Place But Now Just A Foodie And Wine Mom Hell, MI--
The Talons rookie league team is in Traverse City, Michigan. It's where all the draft picks go after they are drafted. And with age limits in place, we can't have 30 year old players on the team anymore, like back in the glory days when the team won like 5 straight championships and averaged less than 5 losses per season for like four consecutive years.
But like we said, age limits. So the Talons of Traverse City have to actually rely on recent Talons draftees. Which is never a good thing, especially when you look at the Talons draft track record (please don't). But the team is playing OK so far, barely in first place in their division with only a .633 winning percentage. Some of the players are decent prospects, like RF Adrian Tallent, DH Taisuke Kamimura, and LF Ricardo Capeles. But its kinda hard for those guys to get playing time when there are like 11 outfielders on the roster.
go talons.

Good whiskey also, and there's a good burger joint on main street.

I actually love all the wineries up on the peninsula. They are all way too crowded now with buses and tours.
