Since forming in 1888, the Texas League has produced some of the most
beloved American baseball players and seen more than its fair share of
colorful events. In 1931, Houston pitcher Dizzy Dean pitched and won
both ends of a double-header in Fort Worth, throwing a three-hit shutout
in the second game. In 1906, center fielder Tris Speaker pitched for
Cleburne to beat Temple 10-3. In 1998, Arkansas' Tyrone Horne hit for
the homer cycle in San Antonio, finishing to a standing ovation. The
Texas League Baseball Almanac delivers day by day the record-breaking
events, personal triumphs and memorable games that helped to shape
baseball in the region. Join authors David King and Tom Kayser on a
nine-inning trip down one of minor-league baseball's most historic
institutions, both in season and off. .
