This is a conference I can claim some personal connections to, even if I've never been to any of these stadiums. My dad has both a bachelors and a masters from Eastern Illinois. The Missouri branch of my family lives very close to SEMO, and I have at least one cousin who has a degree from there. I had a high school teammate that played for Southern Indiana and led them to the D2 title. So, yeah, I found this one more interesting than some other conferences because of this. Only Tennessee St. doesn't have a varsity baseball team here, and hasn't had one since 1993, leaving us with a nine team league. And here are those teams.
