Category: Big State League

The Temple Eagles were an independent minor league baseball team out of the Central Texas city of Temple during the early 1950’s. The Eagles competed in the Big State League, an all-Texan loop that played at a lower designation (Class B) and generally in smaller cities than the Class AA Texas League. Temple had a population of just over 25,000 in the 1950 census, though the city is considerably larger today (~78,000).
