Fans in the stands at Trustmark Park next April 7 might be a little confused. The Jackson Generals will be in Pearl to play the Mississippi Braves. No, not those Generals. Lance Berkman and Bobby Abreu and Billy Wagner aren’t going to make a ghostly return. The old Texas League team is long gone. This will be the new Jackson Generals, the Southern League team formerly known as the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx. Of all the nicknames they could have picked, they resurrect “Generals” for the club in Jackson, Tenn. Very strange. So don’t expect to see the Rally Gator or General Trash at the TeePee next year. Just a team called the Generals. Try not to cheer.
