Subject field(s)
  • Baseball and Softball
  • Specialized Vocabulary and Phraseologism of Sports
CONT

Most players, when they turn professional, start in the minor leagues. The teams in the minor leagues are the "nurseries" for the majors - that is, they prepare the young talent for the "big time".

OBS

Familiar language.

Domaine(s)
  • Baseball et softball
  • Vocabulaire spécialisé et phraséologie des sports
CONT

La plupart des joueurs qui s'orientent vers le baseball professionnel font leur apprentissage dans les ligues mineures. Elles préparent en quelque sorte les «jeunes talents» à faire le grand saut! A la différence du football et du basket-ball, les ligues majeures de baseball ne recrutent pas directement leurs futures étoiles dans les universités.
