Texarkana's brand-new professional baseball team, the Texarkana Gunslingers of the Continental Baseball League, had their home debut last Sunday. It was a record crowd for a CBL game, sold out beyond standing room only.
We lost to McKinney Blue Thunder, but we had a great time.
This is true independent, unaffiliated, minor league ball. The CBL salary cap is $25,000 -- for the whole team, for the year. It's roughly equivalent to Single-A Short Season.
Still, it's professional, so it's off limits to CHL carry. We really need to fix that statute! (Since they play in a city park, they couldn't post valid 30.06 notices, either. There's your cue, Frankie.
)Here's my debut attempt at editing in iMovie, my debut upload to youtube, and the debut of the Gunslingers:
