We talk about the logos, foods, special events and people that divert your attention from the actual sports themselves.

Welcome to the first episode of LOGOSHOW with the Minor League Geek. On this show we take a look at a single logo, and try to figure out why, and how it came to be.

For our first logo we are looking at the Derby City Mint Juleps, a two game logo for the Louisville Bats. Created in 2019 it is a tip of the hat to a horse race that neither the Bats nor I own the rights to say.
