The Jackson Rockabillys are a collegiate summer league baseball team of the Prospect League. They are located in Jackson, Tennessee, and play their home games at The Ballpark at Jackson. The Rockabillys and other collegiate summer leagues and teams exist to give top college players a professional-like experience without affecting NCAA eligibility.
The Rockabillys play in the Prospect League's Western Conference – South Division along with the Alton River Dragons, Cape Catfish, O'Fallon Hoots, and Thrillville Thrillbillies.[6]
Jackson's previous summer baseball team was the Jackson Generals, a professional minor league Double-A affiliate from its inception in 1998 to its folding in 2020. The Generals served as a minor league affiliate to the Chicago Cubs, Seattle Mariners, and Arizona Diamondbacks during their existence as a franchise. However, the Generals lost their minor league affiliation during Major League Baseball's reorganization of the minor leagues after the 2020 season.[7][8] The Generals folded shortly thereafter, leaving the city of Jackson without a team.[9]
On December 14, 2021, the Prospect League announced that a franchise had been awarded to the city of Jackson, with Big Inning, LLC and Dennis Bastien as the owners of the team.[10]
On June 20, 2022, the team was officially named the Rockabillys.[11][12]
Stadium
The Rockabillys play at The Ballpark at Jackson, a 6,000-seat facility owned and operated by the city of Jackson, Tennessee.[13][14] The facility was built in 1998 and is located at 4 Fun Place in Jackson.[15]
