the Appalachian League was considered the lowest rung on the minor league ladder. It was considered a "short-season" instructional league with the teams having major league affiliations. Now, it's a developmental league associated with MLB but the players are not under contract with franchises. Who knew?

Beyond that, that's a very weird story. The player who pulled this stunt just kissed away any chance at a baseball career and I say good riddance. #LockHimUp
