Without the minors, major-league baseball would run out of players, and sad songs would all sound like marching-band tunes. Cheer on today's youth and tomorrow's pros with today's Groupon: for $39, you get four box seats (up to a $56 value on game day), two parking passes (a $10 value), plus your choice of a shirt or team cap (up to a $24 value) at a Round Rock Express game at The Dell Diamond in Round Rock (up to a $90 total value). Redeem this Groupon for any home game Sundays through Thursdays.

A Triple-A affiliate of the 2010 American League Champion Texas Rangers, the Round Rock Express's players bat, slide, steal, and knock spherical things out of The Dell Diamond. Managed by former Rangers' outfielder Bobby Jones, the team receives its silent hand signals and coaching from former major-league player Scott Coolbaugh, pitching coach Terry Clark, and star of Major League: Back to the Minors Scott Bakula. The Pacific Coast League power beat the Nashville Sounds to clinch the American Conference finals in 2006.

Because tomorrow's major-league baseball stars emerge from minor-league dark matter, catching a Round Rock Express game today is like seeing into the future, only without seeing far enough to witness terrifying robot insurrections, planet-wide extinction, and the eventual cancellation of The Simpsons. Invite presently significant people and live with them in the moment as you enjoy four box seats at a Round Rock Express game.
