The new Tucson Toros return to Hi Corbett
The Phoenix may have taken away Tucson Spring Training, and Reno may have taken the Tucson Sidewinders, but the legendary Tucson Toros baseball team, in Tucson, Arizona, may rise like a phoenix and return again at Hi Corbett Field in the summer 2009.
Former Tucson Sidewinders owner Jay Zucker is brining an expansion team of the Golden Baseball League to Tucson. The new teams name would be the Tucson Toros- the same team that played in Tucson at Hi Corbett Field from 1969 through 1997.
The Tucson Toros and Hi Corbett field holds much history and memories among Tucsonans. The Tucson Toros 2009 takes the field late May 2009 as an Independent Professional Baseball League team playing 40 games at Hi Corbett Field (named for Hiram Corbett) and 40 games on the road.
Zucker sold the Tucson Sidewinders baseball team in June 2007, but continued to play through the end of the 2008 season in September. The team moved to Reno, Nevada to play in a new stadium for the Spring 2009 season. If the Reno stadium is not ready in time, part of the season may be played at TEP.

Sidewinders slide out Toros charge in
Since the Tucson Sidewinders were originally the Tucson Toros, Zucker still retains ownership of the Tucson Toros brand name. His intensions are to return Tucson to the glory days of baseball when the ballpark was filled with enthusiastic fans. During the Tucson Sidewinder tenure, at the out-of-way Tucson Electric Park, the stadium barely filled its potential. If the Tucson Toros are revived, they will not play at the Tucson Electric Park stadium. Instead, Zucker prefers to keep the Toros in their home field.
Tucson Toros baseball games start in 2009
The Tucson Toros and Hi Corbett field holds much history and memories among Tucsonans. The Tucson Toros 2009 will take the field late May as an Independent Professional Baseball League team playing 40 games at Hi Corbett and 40 games on the road. Over the past three seasons, the GBL has featured such baseball greats as Rickey Henderson and José Canseco, along with 40 other former Major League players and top Minor League prospects. The level of play by GBL teams has been stated by officials in the baseball industry to be consistent with that of Double A Minor League baseball. Continue reading about the new Tucson Toros.
The Golden Baseball League starts 4th season
Most professional baseball franchises across America are exclusively “affiliated” with one Major League team. However, there is a new breed of professional baseball teams that are “independent” working non-exclusively with all 30 Major League organizations. Read more about the Golden Baseball League.
