TUCSON, ARIZONA - (SWSN) – The Arizona State League is thrilled to announce the re-creation of the 1958 season, featuring games played on their original dates, as a testament to its rich heritage. The Dave Koch Sports simulated baseball game, Action! PC Baseball, will serve as the platform for the simulated 1958 games.

   Several simulated games companies were contacted by the league, and an agreement was reached with Dave Koch Sports to help re-create the 1958 season.

   In its 21st season, the league consisted of six competing teams, with the Douglas Copper Kings being the sole team affiliated with a Major League team, the Pittsburgh Pirates. 

   The season began on May 1 and ended on September 7.

   The six teams that competed in the 1958 season is as follows:
Chihuahua Dorados
Ciudad Juarez Indios
Douglas Copper Kings
Mexicali Aguilas
Nogales Mineros
Tucson Cowboys

   The Arizona-Mexico League was the successor to the Arizona State and Arizona-Texas Leagues. The Arizona State League originated in the early 1900s as townball and rapidly evolved into semi-professional, earning Class D league classification in 1928 and admission into the National Association of Minor Leagues.

   With El Paso joining the league for the 1931 season, the league changed its name to the Arizona-Texas League. Following several years of Mexican teams competing in the league, and with the influence of teams from south of the border, the league adopted the name Arizona-Mexico League in 1955.

   The league, currently an open class league featuring local players, collegiate players and unsigned free agents, aimed to commence play this summer. However, due to the region's financial recession and border issues following the election, the league postponed its inaugural season.

   Mark your calendars for Opening Day on May 1st, as each team prepares to play 120 games. Game one showcases matchups between Douglas and Nogales; Chihuahua and Juarez; and Mexicali and Tucson. 

   Each day, post-game reports, box scores, and standings will be available approximately 10 PM PDT.
