Round Rock Hairymen

Round Rock, Frisco, and San Antonio are all going to have Texas Collegiate League teams.

College baseball with minor league marketing teams could prove to be quite interesting.

Got a friend hosting a kid from Elgin this year...

I think this is a win/win for both the players who are getting some ball in and the minor league clubs that can generate a little excitement!

I live a long par 5 from Dell Diamond. We will be going to as many games as we can. Damn the heat, I want some live sports.

Victoria has always been in the TCL. I believe it was up to the minor league teams To participate and put together the teams.

I'm looking forward to this coming to RR this summer. We started 16u select baseball tournaments 2 weeks ago, and I am super happy to be watching baseball again.

Ordered my season tickets last week. Sounds like ticket sales are actually going pretty good.

Sartori played for them last year. Was a strong batter and good shortstop.

What. A. Name.

I had to google what a Chancla is. A flip-flop makes zero sense for the name of a baseball team, and I love it. They just got some of my money through a t-shirt order.

The San Antonio minor league team went by that name for a month or so a couple seasons ago during one of those cultural appreciation things. The merchandise all sold out in less than a day.

Frisco cancelled their opening weekend series. Have tickets for tomorrow and didn't know until I just happened to check their site. No communication to ticket holders.

I don't know if the other teams are using the names, but it was from the Copa de Diversion deal they do every year. The Hooks become the Raspas (which is like a sno cone) and the Express become the Chupacabras. Teams do it all over the country. The Flying Chanclas is my favorite though.



Edited to include video for actual flying chancla.

Yeah, I vaguely knew of the Copa de Diversion, but I just never really connected the dots. I did some more looking after my last post and connected those dots more. The names, logos, execution, etc. is part of what makes minor league baseball unique, and I am happy that some of that is continuing this summer.

FYI - no fans will be allowed in Frisco for any games this summer.

Complete overreaction in Frisco in my opinion. Only people that had it there were back office folks.

I've attended 8 of these games in 3 different venues so far and they are doing a fantastic job.

Masks when coming in/out and moving around the stadium. Seating is spread out. I'd encourage anyone who enjoys baseball to get out to one of the games.

Been some quality baseball as well!

Agreed - have three sons and we were all pretty excited to see some baseball again (the Frisco Classic from late February feels like years ago at this point). Assuming they keep playing/allowing fans, we hope to be able to catch a game in Round Rock later this month.

Bombers added Bryce Blaum this past week.

Really a pretty high level of baseball being played in the TCL this year. Games have been a lot of fun to attend.

My son plays for Tulsa Drillers. Great coaching staff as my son has learned a great deal. Beautiful ballpark and the community has adopted this team with great enthusiasm.
