BRANDON

Professional baseball took over in Brandon in 1908 as the expansion Greys (they were never called the Angels in 1908 within the Brandon Sun) became the champions of the class D Northern League. With the heavy emphasis on the pro product, coverage of senior amateur baseball suffered accordingly and virtually disappeared.
