Texas City Stars
May 20, 2014
The Texas City Stars were an obscure minor league baseball team that lasted for just one season in the summer of 1977. The Stars were part of the Lone Star League, a Texas-only circuit that played at the Class A level. All six Lone Star League clubs were “independent”, meaning they had no Major League parent club affiliations. The Stars had a record of 35-41 in their only season of play, good for 5th place in the six-team league. The entire Lone Star League effectively folded after the first place Corpus Christi Seagulls refused to play in the 1977 playoffs for financial reasons.
