Lake Charles Creoles - Louisiana - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams - Unisex Sweatshirt
PRINTED IN & SHIPPED FROM USA
Our high quality unisex sweatshirts consist of a premium 8.5oz cotton/polyester blend with a classic crew neck and flattering fit.
Lake Charles was a Louisiana lumber and rice port in 1906 when the Creoles became the city's first professional baseball team. They entered the Class C South Texas League as the circuit's only out-of-state franchise, playing home games at Athletic Field and finishing dead last at 30-94 under a rotation of three managers (Denny Lyons, Ed Switzer, and Dick Latham). The South Texas League folded after that 1906 season, and the Creoles moved on to the Gulf Coast League for a final two-year run before disbanding. Athletic Field went on to serve as a spring training site for the Philadelphia Athletics.
Part of our Defunct Baseball collection, inspired by the vintage Minor League teams of yesteryear.
