The permanent Headquarters for the World Series is the Player Development Complex Clubhouse, located at 4301 Edison Avenue. It is the centermost of the venues, with the remaining playing sites within 15 minutes from PDC, much like the spokes of a wheel.

Here is the lineup, with Field Manager names and phone numbers in any emergency …
