Jacksonville Stingrays
July 23, 2013
The Jacksonville Stingrays were a doomed minor league basketball outfit that lasted for only six weeks in the World Basketball League (1988-1992) during the spring of 1992. The WBL was a summertime minor league for players 6′ 5″ tall and shorter (seriously). The Stingrays were 5-14 at the time of the midseason demise in June 1992. The team averaged a reported 579 fans per game for eight home dates in the 10,000-seat Jacksonville Coliseum.
