​The Durham Bulls - The Business of Minor League Baseball
The Durham Bulls, America’s most famous Minor League Baseball team, is regarded as one of the premier franchises in the industry. Since Capitol Broadcasting Company bought the team in 1991, the organization has separated itself from its peers, thriving on local, regional and national stages. Under Capitol Broadcasting’s direction, the Bulls have been at the center of the revitalization of downtown Durham, never ceasing to contribute to The Triangle community.

Mike, Chip and Scott tell the story of the Durham Bulls Baseball Club and share the "behind the scenes" story of  the business of minor league ball.  

BULL DURHAM
​Bull Durham, a major motion picture starring Kevin Costner, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, brought the Bulls national attention. Filmed on-site at the Durham Athletic Park, the famous Snorting Bull which was designed to be used only as a prop for the movie remains a staple of the Bulls' park today.
