They were a double-A baseball team in Jackson, MS. A Houston Astros affiliate from 1991 to 1999. This is where I became a huge baseball fan. There is not much material on the internet. I was curious if anyone else remembers them.
Ha, I remember the old Jackson Mets playing in Smith-Wills stadium, and went to many games when I lived there c 83-84. A lot of guys on those teams that went to the bigs like McDowell, Mitchell, Shiraldi and Dyskstra…but I always remember guys who were there like Lashell Tarver, Herb Winningham, Ed Hearn and Al Pedrique. Billy Beane of Moneyball fame was also there. Also saw an exhibition game in 84 vs the US Olympic team with McGuire and Will Clark….still have a baseball with red and blue seams.
Was in town years later and did catch one Generals game. Lance Berkman was playing.
