Gainesville sits in North Texas near the Oklahoma border along the route of the historic Chisholm Trail, the cattle drive path that pushed longhorns north through the region in the decades after the Civil War, and the city's ranching and agricultural heritage defined the area long before the postwar minor league boom arrived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the Owls' most notable players was Lon Goldstein, a former Cincinnati Reds infielder who joined Gainesville in 1947 and remained for four seasons. Goldstein hit .340 across his Big State League career and went on to coach at Carter Riverside High School in Fort Worth for 35 years, serving as athletic director for the Fort Worth school system and earning Texas Athletic Director of the Year honors in 1975. Gainesville's Locke Field, where the Owls played, hosted an early Elvis Presley concert during the 1950s and was not demolished until 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Big State League was a Class B circuit that ran from 1947 through 1957, fielding teams exclusively from across Texas. Named for the state's reputation as the nation's largest, the league stretched from the Gulf Coast to the plains of West Texas, bringing professional baseball to cities the higher-classification Texas League had never reached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRetro Baseball Revival celebrates historic baseball teams with unique apparel, honoring their legacy and bringing history to one-of-a-kind clothing with our old school retro baseball tees from defunct Minor League Baseball teams.
