In 1950, the Bulls posted a league-best 86-53 record under manager Harry Strohm, though the Baton Rouge Red Sticks ultimately won the championship in the playoffs. Lafayette reached the finals in 1953 as well, falling to the Thibodaux Giants four games to one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLafayette had been part of the Evangeline League since the circuit's founding season in 1934, first as the White Sox. The hub city of Acadiana was considered one of the league's marquee franchises from the start, with the circuit's best ballpark and large crowds. The Bulls identity ran from 1948 through 1953, before the city's franchise continued as the Oilers from 1954 through 1957. The Oilers won the 1955 championship and reached the 1956 finals, which were cancelled due to a boycott tied to the team's refusal to integrate, before folding mid-season in June 1957.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evangeline League was a Class D minor league (Class C from 1949) that operated primarily in southern and central Louisiana from 1934 through 1957, with a wartime pause from 1943 through 1945. Named for the Acadian folk heroine of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1847 epic poem, the league was nicknamed the \"Pepper Sauce League\" or the \"Tabasco Circuit\" by fans and sportswriters, a nod to the Cajun country setting and the volatile brand of baseball played there.\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.
