Since that endeavor, I formed a semi-collegiate team in 2005 known as the Dodge City Desperados, the 2006 Border League and Bisbee Kings Basebal Club In 2007 I formed the Centennial Baseball League and San Luis Atleticos Baseball Club,

Late last year, 2011, I partnered with T.K. Karabatsos, and we traveled to southeastern Arizona and formed the Bisbee-Douglas Nine Baseball Club. We made application to play 2012 summer games at Douglas' Copper King Stadium and Bisbee's Warren Ballpark. Six months after we applied to play baseball in the local ballparks, our application's were neither approved or denied. T.K. was going to coach the team and it was March 1st and with no official place to play, T.K felt like he couldn't promise our baseball players a team to play on, so we cancelled the season. If we signed players and no definitive answers came about our ballpark applications, it would be too late for our players to find new 2012 summer teams.
Do we continue our 2012 team project over to the next year? I cannot give you a good answer.
The 2006 Bisbee Kings team was assumed from me, by two married couples in Bisbee beginning the 2007 season. The team was the Bisbee Copper Kings. They played five seasons and have folded due to the majority owners health. The other married couple have formed their own team known as the Bisbee Ironmen Baseball Club. Is this why our ballpark applications lay in limbo? Did the local owners have some influence on the ballpark owners? I suppose one will never know for sure, and at this time, to us, it is really not important.
So, the search for a better ballpark continues!

OUR PURSUIT FOR A BETTER BALLPARK CONTINUES
April 2012

I will be posting my collection of ballpark photos here within the next several months to a year.
I have photos from 2002 to current..

My pursuit of a better ballpark began in the southwest in 2002. At that time I was locating communities with suitable ballparks that would be home to new independent professional baseball teams. Four ballparks, communities and ownership groups were formed and brought together to form what was then known as the Arizona-Mexico League.
