The Midland Angels were a long-time Class AA farm club of the California/Anaheim Angels between 1985 and 1998. Though the club was consistently terrible on the field, posting nine straight losing seasons from 1990 through 1998, the organization was highly respected within Minor League Baseball. The Midland Angels earned Baseball American’s Bob Freitas Award as the nation’s most outstanding Class AA franchise for the 1995 season.
The Midland Cubs were a Class AA Texas League farm club of the Chicago Cubs in for 13 seasons. Minor league baseball was a fixture in the West Texas petroleum hub from the late 1920’s through the late 50’s. But the Cubs arrival in 1972 marked the first pro ball played in the city since the departure of the Midland Braves of the Sophomore League in 1959.
