Here is an update on my beloved Southern Association... I lived and died with the Mobile Bears and the New Orleans Pelicans... can you believe it?... The Bears are in first place and the Pels are off to a great start, too... the only future major leaguers playing on the teams were Don Zimmer leading off and playing a crackerjack shortstop for the Bears... and Frank Thomas playing center field and batting third for the Pels… Dale Long is playing first base and batting cleanup... Mobile was a farm club for the Brooklyn Dodgers and New Orleans was a farm team for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
