A family legacy built over 31 years that has
transcended good times, bad times, ups and
downs will be coming to an end in Septem-
ber, as Bragan Jr. announced that he will be
selling the team.
“I don’t have a son or daughter so I don’t have
anyone to take over for me, my dad had to die
as the owner Jacksonville Suns, but I don’t,”
Bragan Jr. said. “Mr. Babby will be great for
the city – he’s got that youth and enthusiasm
and the wherewithal to carry this franchise
forward and to new heights, I really believe
he’ll be great for the city.”
"I don't work for a living,. I'm in baseball."
Peter Jr. would say. As the sun sets on the
Bragan family reign in Jacksonville, the boys
of summer will always be close to his heart.
