The new franchise in Aberdeen, wanted the backing of Major League Baseball, and sought
a franchise to associate with. David Trombley tells us that the team's secretary traveled to St. Louis to meet with the Browns,
complete with a bouquet of roses and chamber of commerce brochures. The courtship
was a success. Aberdeen signed a long term agreement and the new St. Louis
Browns franchise became a fixture in Aberdeen. Photograph courtesy of the Dacotah Prairie Museum. |
