Does the Advocate post stats of Louisiana baseball players anymore?

I remember back in high school, one of the few things I found worth a crap in that paper was the Louisiana players in the Minors/Majors sections, along with their class affiliation and their up-to-date stats. It was a consolidated weekly list and an easy way to keep track of players you would otherwise forget about.

That information is still kind of segmented, even on here.

Yeah, I always looked at it in the Sunday edition. But, at least we still have a 7 day a week newspaper with one of the better sports sections.

the stats weren't posted in the sunday advocate last year and so for not this year either. i i guess it was taking up valuble ad space, because we alllll want to see more ads.

I've traveled everywhere. The Avocate's sports section is much better than cities twice it's size.

If it's not an AP story, something about LSU, Southern, high school football, or local bowling league forget it... that would take way too much effort.

The Advocate didn't compile the stats themselves, they received them from a bureau. A couple of years ago the bureau either went out of business or had to cut that service due to financial woes. The Advocate published a blurb about it at the time.
