Summer Collegiate Baseball Returns to Galveston with New Franchise Ownership
Baseball with Bailey is indirectly connected through Rick Bailey’s acquisition of a new summer collegiate franchise in Galveston, bringing baseball back to the island with a team aligned with autism-awareness initiatives. The club will play its home games at Ball High School’s stadium under an agreement with Galveston Independent School District. The season will span from late May to mid‑July, featuring a community‑focused approach, youth clinics, theme nights and an online poll to determine the team’s name. Bailey’s involvement extends the model used with the Pineville Porcupines, also promoting inclusion through autism‑awareness themed hats and jerseys. This development enriches the broader baseball and softball landscape relevant to Baseball with Bailey’s context.
