Mission Viejo, Calif. (This information is courtesy of Nogales International) The new American West Baseball League announced that they have signed an agreement with the City of Nogales and an ownership group has agreed to own and operate an independent minor league baseball team in 2013.
The ownership group consists of MLB players and business professionals. The new team will play at War Memorial Stadium and start this 2013 season.
AWBL Chief Executive Officer Michael Cummings commented on the new ownership group by saying, "We are very excited about our new partnership with the Nogales ownership group, and adding another financially stable team to the AWBL. The partnership with the new ownership group shows the strength and stability of AWBL, and gives players from the United States and South America an opportunity that they may not otherwise have.”
