Eddie Larkan was in charge of coordination of both games and did a fabulous job. Mr Larkan was the leader of Border Baseball which was a group that attempted to bring the Pecos League to Del Rio. The City of Del Rio did not take neccessary steps to support Mr Larkan or the Pecos League in time for the 2012 season to have a team.
- The brick center field wall is currently 319 feet from home plate, it has to be a minimum of 385 feet to have a professional team occupy Roosevelt Park. Moving this wall would have also require adjustment of lighting and possibly removal of trees.
- The Pecos League currently has 6 teams in New Mexico and Colorado which would have meant extremely long home stands and road stands for Del Rio and all teams would have had to had combination home stands with Alpine and Del Rio which would have been a negative on Alpine's home attendence.
Statement from Mr Larkan shown below "It is time I give up my effort to bring professional baseball to Del Rio. Obstacles with scheduling and some needed stadium improvements have not progressed significantly and I realize you have to finalize schedules with teams committed to play in 2012.
Thank you for your attempts to locate a team in Del Rio and for providing the teams for two great baseball games here this summer. I wish you continued success as the Pecos League expands to other cities; I regret that Del Rio will not be one of them."
The Pecos League would like to thank Mr Larkan for his attempt and efforts in having a team in Del Rio, Texas.
