SARASOTA – The inaugural season of the Gulf Shores Collegiate Baseball League promises to be a cool experience.
That’s because the six-team summer college baseball league, three of the clubs' former members of the Florida Gulf Coast League, will play all its games at CoolToday Park, the spring-training home of the Atlanta Braves.
“I just can’t believe that (Atlanta vice president of Florida operations) Mike Dunn has gone out of his way to welcome us there,” said Jeff Howard, owner of Sarasota Cat 9, one of the three teams to break off from the FGCL to form the Gulf Shores league.
