Pro baseball is just a secondary game in Mississippi, where Mississippi State and Southern Miss can draw 7,900 for a game.With three Division I schools generating solid revenue and competing nationally, Mississippi is a state where college baseball rules. In fact, we can’t think of a state except Florida — where three solid Division I schools and a surprisingly good NCAA Division II conference makes it the center of college baseball — where the game is so popular.
In fact, the three teams regularly draw crowds of over 7,000 at facilities that can hold them, like Trustmark Park in Pearl, Miss.
