  • The Texas League During the Golden Age of Sports
    1920–1929: The Texas League during the Golden Age of Sports from A Lone Star Reader Second Edition | by Kirk Bane, Chuck Swanlund, Scott Sosebee | 9781465277442 Property of Kendall Hunt Publishing 1920–1929: The Texas League during the Golden Age of Sports BILL O’NEAL ill O’Neal taught history for many years at Panola College in Carthage. In 2012, Governor Rick Perry appointed him Texas State Historian. Professor O’Neal’s Bnumerous books include Encyclopedia of Western Gunfighters (1979), The Texas League, 1888–1987: A Century of Baseball (1987), Tex Ritter: America’s Most Beloved Cowboy (1998), The Johnson County War (2004), and Reel Rangers: Texas Rangers in Movies, TV, Radio & Other Forms of Popular Culture (2008). Major League Baseball came to Texas in 1962 when the National League Houston Colt .45s (later renamed the Astros) played their inaugural season. The American League arrived in the Lone Star State ten years later with the relocation of the Washington Senators to Arlington, where they became the Texas Rangers. Prior to the arrival of the big leagues, however, the Texas League had a long and illustrious history. In this selection, O’Neal discusses the Texas League during the Roaring Twenties. Under the leadership of W. K. Stripling, Paul LaGrave, and Jake Atz, Fort Worth’s Panthers dominated the period from 1920–1925. The Dallas Steers and Wichita Falls Spudders surpassed Fort Worth in the decade’s latter years. Such legendary players as “Big Boy” Kraft, Joe Pate, Paul Wachtel, and Ike Boone thrilled Lone Star baseball fans, and from 1920–1929, the Texas League champion defeated their Southern Association rival eight times in the Dixie Series.
