SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Missions President Burl Yarbrough, a Texas League Hall of Famer and a Boerne resident, will transition to a new role as senior advisor for the club ahead of the 2026 season. Yarbrough will assist with various special projects, including the Missions’ upcoming move to a new downtown ballpark.
“I’ve been blessed to run this organization for 38 years, and for 42 years in professional baseball,” said Yarbrough, whose daughter Alex was part of Boerne High’s 2007 state championship softball team. “It’s been a wonderful experience here in San Antonio, and I’m looking forward to being part of the future here and helping the front office as they continue to make this one of the best franchises in Minor League Baseball.”
The Fort Worth native joined the Missions as general manager in 1987 before being named team president in 1998. During Yarbrough’s tenure with the organization, the Missions have won six Texas League championships. They also led the Texas League in attendance five times, including a then-Texas League record of 411,989 in 1994; the first season the team played Nelson Wolff Stadium.

Missions help to rebuilt Ingram Little League Field
Several professional baseball organizations, including the San Antonio Missions, Houston Astros, Texas Rangers and Round Rock Express, helped rebuild and reopen the Ingram Little League Field after last summer’s devastating floods.
There was a dedication on March 21 and Missions mascot Ballapeño, along with one of the team’s owners, attended the ceremony which saw the completion of the near $3 million project that features new fields, batting cages and upgraded facilities.
