A quote from the article:

The Mid-America League will field a team in Abilene for its inaugural season this spring.

The yet unnamed Abilene team will play at McMurry’s Walt Driggers Field, following in the footsteps of the city’s last professional baseball team — the Prairie Dogs, who played one season (2012) in the defunct North American League.

Scott Kirk, the team’s president, said fans can vote for the Abilene team’s nickname and mascot.

“We look forward to our fans stepping to the plate and picking a name for the team that epitomizes the spirit of the city,” Kirk said in a news release.
