This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XCB.2ACI/669 Message Board Post: My grandfather (who died in 1974) played for a baseball farm team in Shreveport in the late 1930's. The farm team may have been a farm team of a Minneapolis/St. Paul team. Can anyone give me any information on the farm team, or tell me where I could find information? I am not within driving distance to Shreveport, so I am unable to go to the library there, where I probably could find the information. Thanks, Rhonda

Rhonda, The baseball team in S'Port was the Shreveport Sports of the Texas League. My uncle, Homer Peel, was the manager for a few years and later in retirement the grounds keeper at SPAR Stadium. He died several years ago at age 96. If my recollection is correct they were a farm team in the Dodgers system. Just cannot remember for sure. Contact the Library or John Prime at the S'Port Times newspaper. It is quite likely that your grandfather and my uncle played together or at least knew each other. If I can help anymore please let me know. Frank M.
