Did You Know? The Jackson (MS) Generals (now Corpus Christi Hooks) played at Smith-Wills Stadium on Lakeland Drive from 1991 to 1999. The Jackson Generals were a Texas League Double-A affiliate of the Houston Astros. The current Jackson (TN) Generals have no relation to the Mississippi version and were originally the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx from their inaugural season in 1998 to 2010. The new name is reflective of the Jackson Generals of the KITTY League based in Jackson, TN from 1935-1942. The club disbanded due to the U.S. entry into World War II.
