The Arizona Fall League teams are not exclusive affiliates of any one team; instead, each MLB team provides six players who team up to fill the 30-man roster of each team. MLB teams also send coaches. The affiliations generally change every year. A number of famous ballplayers have had stints in the Arizona Fall League. In 1992 , a player named ''Ernest Jeter'', later to change his name to Derek Jeter , was the league's player of the year. In 1994 , the league got worldwide attention as Michael Jordan 's first professional baseball league, when he played for the Scottsdale Scorpions. Other notable ballplayers who have played at one time in the Arizona Fall League include Nomar Garciaparra and Albert Pujols . Over sixty percent of the players who are sent to the league make the majors. Games are played at Surprise Stadium , Peoria Sports Complex , Phoenix Municipal Stadium , and HoHoKam Park .
