Lufkin Foresters

The Lufkin Foresters were a minor league baseball team from Lufkin, Texas, in the Class D East Texas League starting in 1946. The team then moved to the Lone Star League for a couple seasons before folding. Their name comes from the timber industry that experienced a boom in Lufkin in the late 1800s and Lufkin's location between Davy Crockett National Forest and Angelina National Forest.
