Dixie Boys baseball has been around for several generations. This upcoming August, the organization, which was established in 1957 in Alexandria, Louisiana, will be celebrating 60 years of “providing youth with the opportunity to play baseball,” according to a press release. Newton County has also been a part of that tradition for many years, hosting many Dixie Boys state tournaments in the area.
