The Shreveport Captains owned the Jackson Mets/Generals. My dad worked in the front office for the Captains. I got to see all the future stars who came through the Texas League. One of the biggest stars that played for the Mets was Darryl Strawberry. That was back in old spar stadium. Before the gem that was Fair Grounds Field. Which is currently in the middle of a demolition that has been in limbo for years now.

I really miss those times at Fairgrounds Field. We were there for the opening game all the way through the Swamp Dragons and the bastard 'Captains'.
One of my favorite shirts growing up was from the Tulsa Drillers.

Cook Maloney owned the Jackson Mets/ Generals. I don’t know that there was ever ownership by the Captains.
Richard Hildago, Lance Berkman, Bobby Abreu, Daryle Ward played for the Generals. Many a ball disappeared into the pines from those bats.

Owned literally or figuratively? I read it as the latter; never heard of any common ownership between the teams.
