Yup. And remember the Jackson Mets before them.

Yes, we're the Astros AA team that took the place of the Jackson Mets who moved to Binghamton, NY after the 90 season. They played at Smith-Wills Stadium on Lakeland Drive. I went to a few games over the years. Got some old game programs. Bobby Abreu and Billy Wagner were probably the best players I saw there.

No telling how many games my dad took me to at Smith -Wills. And just as my son is old enough to understand baseball, the Braves move out of Pearl….

I wonder why their attendance is so low? Seems to be a fun park located next to all those casinos
Southern and State hold games down there pretty regularly and they’re packed. AA baseball just isn’t much of a pull for visitors and I imagine it’s tough for the locals (which are a weird bunch as it is) to get too hyped for a Brewers affiliate

I moved out of Jackson in 95 and then everyone started the migration out to Madison seemingly in 96 or so IIRC. Had a great time growing up in Jackson. Sad what's become of it, what a shithole it is now a days. Jitney Jungle FTW

The Shreveport Captains owned the Jackson Mets/Generals. My dad worked in the front office for the Captains.

Owned literally or figuratively? I read it as the latter; never heard of any common ownership between the teams.

Ni. I remember the Jackson Mets.

No, the owner of Cowboy Maloney owned the Generals.
Posted on 3/31/24 at 7:16 pm to braves21
Yes Con Maloney owned the Mets and Generals

San Antonio Missions
Arkansas Travelers

Interesting. So you’re saying if it were another team affiliate and not the Brewers it might be different?

Yes! I lived in Madison birth-4th grade. It was regular event for my dad and I to go to games. Back in the day he used to go to Jackson Mets games with his dad.

Beaumont had the Gators in the Texas league too
All the big Padres of the 80’s/90’s passed through Beaumont- John Kruk, Benito Santiago, Sandy Alomar, etc
