Tuscaloosa, AL – Alabama has four minor league baseball franchises, but only one is going to the Southern League playoffs this year -- the Birmingham Barons. The team has enjoyed good seasons before, but this one set a record: a .655 win percentage, the highest in the Barons' 124-year history.

As the team prepares to head into the playoffs, we're joined by Ever Magallanes. He spoke with Morning Edition host Brandon Hollingsworth from the Barons' home stadium, Regions Park in Hoover.
