Mexicali Mallards - 1902-1974
Al Keefer, GM
Franchise #18
History
Brief: The Franchise #18 team was
based south of the border for nearly 75 years. In 1975, San Francisco
empresario Frank Tedeschi swapped his ownership in Franchise #10 for
Keefer's share of Mexicali and moved the franchise to California, hoping to
cash in big on the Latino appeal. After four years of disappointing
attendance, the franchise was sold and moved to Boston, where it eventually
came under the control of Marty Fiehl. After moving to Scranton,
Franchise #18 grew into the mightiest franchise in TCBA history, retaining
its Latin flavor as the Spanish Flies.
In 1975, Keefer used his
pharmaceutical knowledge to inject Franchise #10 with new energy, building Evanston into one
of the most popular TCBA teams ever. Like the Mallards of Mexicali once
did, the Bees of Evanston
continue to play to capacity crowds today.
