Nogales Seeks Arizona-Texas League berth in field and law hurdles
Nogales cannot join the proposed Arizona-Texas League this season due to lack of a suitable field and international legal barriers. Key officials, including Julio Pina and Sonora Gov. Abelardo Rodríguez, must approve sharing Hoeffer stadium with Nogales teams, while immigration tax and amusement tax rules complicate the cross border venture. Cleon T. Knapp aims to form a six team circuit by January 5, with El Paso Juarez Mesa still to decide.
