West Palm Beach Tropics
The West Palm Beach Tropics were the strongest team, on and off the field, during the lone complete season of the Senior Professional Baseball Association. The SPBA was an attempt to form a Florida-based winter-time pro league for players age 35 & above. The eight-team circuit recruited a large number of well-known former Major Leaguers, along with a handful of career minor league ballplayers who still had something left in the tank.
