Beaumont Roughnecks
April 17, 2019
The Southeast Texas port city of Beaumont was a mainstay in the Class AA Texas League for the better part of four decades from 1920 to 1955. For most of this era, the city’s team was known as the ‘Exporters’. The exception was a three-year stretch from 1950 to 1952 when Beaumont’s ballclub was known as the ‘Roughnecks’ and served as a New York Yankees farm club.
