Mar. 2003 - The AIBL has announced that it will host a Spring Training series in Miervatia City, capital of the Confederated City States of Mikitivity. Mikitivity is located in the far north, flanked by the Thuvian and Solace mountain ranges, making the climate inhospitable for outdoor sports. Mikivity has announced the construction of a large domed stadium to accommodate the players, and will be used for concerts and other events throughout the year.
The series will be played between the two-time defending champions, AcR Arcos and the celebrated team Adam County Cats. Adam County's lineup features 2001 Pure Slugger SS Ronald Joe, 2-time All-Star RF Anthony Graybill who led the league in walks last year, the 2002 Rookie of the Year SS Thomas Lemay and the 2002 Stolen Base leader CF Alfredo Braun. Adam County has not released its pitching rotation for the spring, but will most likely play All-Star Allen Bellinger in one of the games.
AcR's rotation will feature legendary righty Eugene Barnes, who has won both of the Pitcher of the Year awards given so far, 2001 All-Star and 2002 Strikeouts leader southpaw John White. Its lineup features 2001 All-Star 3B Michael Peacock, 2001 Gold Glove C Adolfo Bowling, 2002 Pure Slugger LF Benjamin Bush, 2001 Gold Glove CF James Callahan and 2002 Gold Glove SS Mike Corson.
Compared to the wild winter last year, the free agent season of 2002-2003 was rather mild. Adam City signed starting pitcher Christopher Cruz to a 4-year, 7.5 million J a year contract from AcR, but the Arcos held onto Eugene Barnes, signing the 32-year old to a 3 year contract extension, paying 13.5 J per year, leaving Barnes as the highest paid player in the game.
