Seguin Toros
July 19, 2013
The Seguin Toros were the one-and-only pro baseball club to ever make their home in the small city of Seguin, Texas, 35 miles east of San Antonio. The Toros arrived in the summer of 1976 as members of the brand new Gulf States League. The loop brought minor league baseball to five Texas cities, plus Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Toros were an independent operation – no Major League affiliation – and went out of business after one chaotic season.
