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.
