The Texas League in Baseball, 1888-1958

by Marshall D. Wright

"For over 100 years, the Texas League has been one of the top minor leagues in the Southwest. This work is a statistical history of the Texas League from its inception in 1888 through 1958, when Houston, Fort Worth and Dallas left for higher aspirations in Triple A and major league." "The book is arranged by year, and each chapter begins with a short introduction that also highlights a player, team or aspect of the game that season. The teams are then presented in standings order."--Jacket.
