Hi, Jaguars fans! Jacksonville Florida's other professional team, the Jacksonville Suns, begin their 2016 Southern League baseball season, as they host the Birmingham Barons this Thursday Night at Bragan Field at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville. The JaxSuns are the Class AA Minor League Affiliate of the Florida Marlins.


Our JaxSuns will try to improve from their disappointing 2015 season where they finished in 9th and last place in the Southern League standings with a 57-81 regular season record, and out of the playoffs, win another Southern League Championship later this season since sweeping the Chattanooga Lookouts 3 games to 0 in their 2014 postseason. The team has won six Southern League Championships as the Jacksonville Suns in the Double AA Southern League since 1991, winning League Championships in 1996, 2001 (Co-Champions with the Huntsville Stars), 2005, 2009, 2010, and 2014.


New owner Ken Babby, who took over the Suns ownership for under $25 million, then proceeded to invest $1.8 million is stadium improvements to the BGOJ, for the JaxSuns upcoming season.


David Berg will also return as Field Manager for The Jacksonville Suns, along with Hitting Coach Rich Arena, and Pitching Coach Storm Davis, and New General Manager Harold Craw, provide leadership for the JaxSuns upcoming 2016 season.


There will be giveaways and promotions on all home games at Bragan Field at the BGOF throughout the JaxSuns 2016 Southern League season begininning with the Magnet Schedule giveaway on Opening Night, with First Pitch at 7:05PM Eastern Standard Time. Ken Babby also announced lower ticket prices this year to make it more affordable for fans to attend JaxSuns games at the Bragan Field in The Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville.


Bragan Field at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville, home of the JaxSuns, is located right across the street between EverBank Field and the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.


No injuries to all the Jacksonville Suns players, as they all endure in their 144 game Southern League Class AA season in 2016, and continue their Field Of Dreams to advance on to AAA with the New Orleans Zephyrs, and to MLB down the Florida coast with the Miami Marlins. GO JAXSUNS!!!!! :yes: B) :thumbsup: ^_^
