Byron Pierce- Watch Out this group is the worst. They have done everything you don’t want a professional league to do. Scam city! Watch out for the Texas Winter League
Would love for Fort Worth, and San Angelo to go to the Atlantic League.. Maybe even Grand Prairie.
Atlantic League I doubt would ever look at those markets as they have all seen a steady decline and Grand Prairie never even saw a glimpse of what was hoped for.
There are people in many communities who hear “Minor League Baseball” and think they’re getting an affiliated team from a reputable league.

Why should the operator have to have money before setting up a ball club?
This Pierce name popping up again?
