Currently the president of the entire Minor League is impressing upon other league owners the importance of the Minor League Brand Name.

I am coming across more and more GU baseballs that have stamped on it Minor League Baseball and also the name of the overall Minor League President Pat O'Conner. Are some league owners phasing out the individual minor league baseball that identify their specific leagues? The earliest O'Conner stamped baseball I could find was from 2009 from a ballhawks website but it was retrieved during BP and I know some leagues used their specific league baseballs this past season. What I am asking is what events (Future Games, Minor League All Star games) or leagues (ie. PCL, Atlantic, Midwest) are using these O'Conner baseballs in an actual ballgame?

Also any other insights or recent observations of Minor League branding on GU equipment would be interesting too.
