This is the first time group has actually reached the stage of negotiating a contract. Always before they came to town saying we will bring a team if you give us money.

This group has not asked for money... just to rent the stadium.

I only know what I have read in the Kilgore and Longview papers... I have no idea why Tyler is not mentioned..... does anyone know anything about this Mike Lieberman or of Strategic Baseball Ventures ?

Kilgore ISD to Enter Talks Over Baseball
Superintendent can discuss leasing Driller Park to team

By Randy Ross

KILGORE � The Kilgore school board has given Superintendent Jerry Roberts permission to discuss leasing Kilgore's Driller Park to a potential summer collegiate baseball team.

Although the city owns the park, the Kilgore Independent School District maintains and cares for the baseball park. In May 2006, the school district entered into an agreement with the city that requires the school board to authorize events at the park.

"We have 100 percent control (of the park)," Roberts told the school board during its Tuesday night meeting.

That control led Mike Lieberman of Strategic Baseball Ventures to repeat a sales pitch to the school board that he presented to the Kilgore City Council. Lieberman had provided information about forming a Texas Collegiate League baseball franchise to the council Dec. 11. The council said Lieberman could continue contract discussions for the use of Driller Park with the city and the school district.

During his presentation to the school board, Lieberman said the summer franchise would bring affordable, family-friendly entertainment to the area while raising Kilgore's profile. He said Kilgore would be the only new franchise to join the league in 2008. The Texas Collegiate League has franchises in Coppell, McKinney, Wichita Falls and Bryan.

Lieberman said summer collegiate teams also show local students and athletes the positive aspects of sports and possibly a "next step" in athletic advancement.

"We can see a lot of bad news about sports right now," Lieberman said. "These are guys that enjoy the game � that respect the game."

Lieberman said he and his partners would work to address any community concerns about using the park. He said the team would not want to displace other park users, and Strategic Baseball Ventures would oversee safety, security, cleaning and any possible alcohol sales at the park.

"We want to be part of this community," Lieberman said.

At the end of the meeting, the board gave Roberts the green light to discuss details of a possible contract.

Lieberman said he hopes contract negotiations will begin soon, and he would like to begin working out specifics for a Kilgore franchise by January.

The school board might be presented with a contract at its January meeting.

The board typically meets at 7 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month.

I sent the following to my local chambers of commerce. You might try
something similar in your areas.

Dear Sirs:

There was a time when baseball was a game played by amateur men for
pridein local communities. I suggest an effort to recapture the
American pastime in a unique way by creating a local league of
vintage baseball teams representing Wills Point, Terrell, Canton,
Grand Saline, Van, Kaufman, Mineola, and Edgewood.

The unique quality would be that it would be vintage baseball as
played in the 1880's, making it a media and tourist attraction. For

I would love to have a team at Driller Park and the Kilgore Chamber of Commerce would love it too.

I hate to burst their bubble about the sell of beer but people forget that Kilgore straddles TWO counties. Driller Park is located in Rusk County...which is dry.

I will never believe it until see it. All my life there have been con men coming to town promisng to bring baseball back... but they were really just there to make a quick buck and then leave town.

I have a great idea!!! I live in Mineola and would love to see minor
league baseball in Kilgore. Lets get the people in Kilgore, Longview,
and Tyler get on the phones and call Gary Wendt 520-623-9150 or email
him at gwendt@... or his brother Brad Wendt 917-533-5810
or email him at bwendt@... And tell these guys we want
baseball in East Texas! They have 7 teams for next season so they need
a 8th team WHY NOT Kilgore! They already have a stadium that holds
3,000 fans Driller Park. Kilgores a wet city meaning ice cold beer!!!
The Stadium is very similiar to Bringhurst Field in Alexandria. It
wouldn't take much to get the Park ready for next season. I'm willing
to buy 2 season tickets willing to work for FREE for the new team. I'm
tired of driving to Alex or Ft Worth to see minor league baseball. guys
email me lets get this ball rolling...

I'm definitely not a physicists but it occurs to me that we
misunderstand time.  Time does not exist other than as a measurement of
distance.  A day is the measurement of the earth's 360 degree
revolution� a distance of 24,901.55 miles at a point on the equator.
This is not counting the earth's rotation on it's axis merely because I
do not know what that is.

Then there is the earth's orbit around the sun.  We call it a year
(consisting of 365.25 days).  It really is 587,322,000 miles.  Add in
the earth's revolutions during the orbit and a year equals 596,417,291
miles.

On my 60th birthday people will as me how old  I am because it's easier
than asking how far I've traveled sitting still?  Almost 36 billion
miles being the answer.

In the "time" it takes you to read this, you will have traveled almost
3,000 miles

OK, I guess it ain't spam if someone asks for it. My first book Sleep Sweetly in Your Humble Graves was released by PublishAmerica on March 12. It's the story of a young Southern tenant farmer from his enlistment in the South Carolina Infantry through his incarceration in the Union POW camp at Point Lookout, Maryland during the War Between the States (Civil War if you're a Yankee). It's based on the life of my great, great grandfather. It's available through the publisher, amazon.com (faster), and Barnes & Noble.

I'm currently working on Roadtrips Are Murder... a mystery about a serial killer haunting a fictional Tyler minor league baseball team.

Texas League Had a Brief Stay in East Texas

By VAN CRADDOCK

Excitement ran high in May 1932 when Longview learned a Texas League baseball team was coming to town.

"Actual work on a 3,000-seat grandstand was started here Tuesday afternoon," reported the Longview Morning Journal of May 17. "Two-score men will be employed in order to have the plant in readiness by May 25, when the Longview Cannibals, now the Wichita Falls Spudders, play the Fort Worth Cats."

The new baseball stadium, featuring 60 box seats, was on the southwest corner of the old fairgrounds, an area known today as Stamper Park.

Because of low attendance at the start of the 1932 season, the St. Louis Browns had decided to relocate their Wichita Falls farm club to the bustling town of Longview.

The newly discovered East Texas Oil Field was bringing thousands to the area and they needed entertainment.

It was a different time. "New stands will be sixty feet long directly behind the catcher and will have two wings,"

said the Longview paper. "Bleachers for whites will be near third base and a section for Negroes will be in right field."

Losing record

The Browns were given "full assurance that Longview and Gregg County will line up solidly behind the club ... it is felt that attendance here will be unusually large."

Alas, such was not the case. Despite having a strong hitter in "Debs" Garms, the Cannibals finished with a losing record. Garms was called up to St. Louis in August; he spent 12 years in the majors.

It also didn't help that the Longview stadium had no lights to allow night games.

To be sure, the Texas League of 1932 featured numerous future major leaguers and a few who wound up in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Hank Greenberg of the Beaumont club led the league in home runs. "Ducky" Medwick played at Houston and George Sisler managed Tyler. In July "Schoolboy" Rowe came to town and pitched Beaumont to a 3-1 victory over Longview.

Home crowds dwindled as the Cannibals continued to lose. In September a home double-header against Fort Worth had to be moved to Cowtown to ensure a decent crowd. Largest attendance for a Longview game came at Dallas when 8,800 fans turned out. Actually, most of them were there to see "Babe" Didrikson, Olympic champion and the world's greatest female athlete. She led a parade around the stadium field and spent most of her time signing autographs. And yes, Longview lost 5-4.

Alamo city

By early January 1933, St. Louis officials were branding as "erroneous" reports that the Cannibals would be moved to another city. But when league officials gathered later that month, the decision was made to relocate Longview's short-lived Texas League squad to San Antonio.

Tyler finished with an even worse record than Longview and also lost its Texas League team after the 1932 season.

Both cities continued to field minor-league teams until the early 1950s, playing in the Dixie, West Dixie, Lone Star and Big State leagues.

Tyler's stadium fell into disrepair but eventually was restored. Today Mike Carter Field is home to high school and college games.

Longview's stadium finally got lights for the 1933 campaign.

But by World War II the city was soliciting bids for grandstand lumber and lights to aid the Allied war effort.

Today, the ball field that once housed a Texas League team is only a memory.

Do you remember all the talk we had several months ago about this minor league

that was going to put a team in BOTH Tyler and Longview ?

(Even though Longview has no Stadium)

Well I got up the other day half asleep and picked up the Longview paper.

I thought the headline said Longview gets Semi-Pro Baseball Team.

I couldn't believe it so I went and got my glasses and looked again

and it actually said Longview gets Semi-Pro Basketball Team...

wishful thinking on my part I guess...

The moral of the story is never read the paper until you get your glasses on LOL !!

The Semi-Pro title is something I have had a battle with the Kilgore Chamber of Commerce

over. I have asked them not to call the Cats and Sports semi-pro ... they are Minor League.

They asked if that would make me angry enough to not come to the game.

I said no but I might have to get Brent after you LOL !

Recently the Kilgore News Herald printed an article about the "semi-pro game" getting canceled

I guess I will have to take them on as well.

I think they got their information from the Chamber, however.

The Kilgore Chamber of Commerce would love for the minor league teams to reschedule last nights game since they lost a lot of money on it.

The Ft Worth Cats and Shreveport Sports, however, don't care. They were only doing the Chamber a favor by playing at Driller Park, and will not reschedule an exhibition game.

I went to Driller Park last night in case any of you did not get the message and showed up. I did my walking around the paved trail that circles the ball park. I told a lot of people that drove up... that the game was canceled, but I did not see anyone I knew.

There was water standing on the infield and outfield. The Kilgore High School baseball coach was out there working to get rid of the water. He was joined by the coaches from Nacogdoches H.S. al of them were still working on the field when I left.

Kilgore has a play-off game with North Lamar and Nacogdoches has one with Hallsville at Driller Park this weekend. The coaches were not happy .

The high school I graduated from, Sabine, had a bi-district softball game scheduled to be played at UT Tyler last night, that game was also postponed due to rain. I was planning to go to the softball game then rush to see the last of the baseball game.

I do not have to rush tonight... I will be in Tyler for that softball play-off game which starts at 5:30 p.m. at UT Tyler softball field. They will play a doubleheader against Bullard.

I have never seen a game at UT Tyler.

Maybe the weather will cooperate so we can all go to the Minor League Game at Driller Park next year.
