The 1955 schedule shows that year’s opponents, though the teams were not always the same. Sportswriter Mark Presswood wrote of the Big State League: “Wichita Falls, Waco, Greenville, Gainesville, Temple, Austin, Texarkana, and Sherman-Dennison were the heart of the league. In later years when financial circumstances caused a movement among teams, Bryan, Paris, Galveston, Beaumont, Port Arthur, Tyler, and Corpus Christi were members when needed. Rated a Class B league for much of its history, the circuit also featured some of the most famous executives in Texas baseball lore. J. Walter Morris served as president 1947–1950, Howard Green replaced Morris through the 1955 season, and Howard Sayles led the league until its demise in 1957.”
