  • City of Sugar Land Article
    Sugar Land Makes It To The Big Leagues by Chuck Kelly, longtime Sugar Land resident During Major League Baseball's winter meeting in 1960, Houston was awarded a National League franchise. The new owners, all prominent Houstonians, named the team the Colt .45s and announced they would start play in April 1962. In the winter of 1961, the owners began constructing a temporary wooden stadium just north of the eventual site of the Astrodome, roughly where Reliant Center is now located. Houston and neighboring towns like Sugar Land were excited about the new team, but there was no frenzied promotion like there is today. The three Houston newspapers carried stories about the development of the new team, and the Colt .45s opened their stadium's construction site to the public. There wasn't much to see except a dusty parking lot and a rapidly assembled stadium behind a chain -link fence, but fans could visit a temporary building where they could get pennants, decals, caps, schedules and other items meant to drum up interest. Sugar Land's interest cranked up a notch or two in March 1962 when a local newspaper, The Triad, announced that Luman Harris, third base coach for the Colt .45s, would move his family to Sugar Land. Several Sugar Land families are now connected with professional sports, but the Harris family was the first, and Sugar Land was a small town of roughly 2,500 people back then. Their arrival in Sugar Land was big news. The Triad article detailed Lum's baseball background. He had pitched for the Washington Senators and coached in the big leagues for several years.
