Merger Means Strength in Numbers in Dixie Baseball
Bobby Bragan, president of the Texas League, says the Texas and Southern leagues formed the Dixie Baseball Association out of necessity and envisions a permanent structure.

Bragan stresses the need for attractive venues and amenities to sustain baseball at all levels as majors persist.
