The name came from the natural gas fields that had transformed north Louisiana in the years just before the club was founded, and the ballpark took the same name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1919 title arrived by an unusual route. Shreveport built such a commanding lead through the first half of the season that league officials split the schedule in two, restarting on the Fourth of July to keep the race interesting. Fort Worth won the second half. Shreveport then beat them in the championship series, four games to two with a tie, under manager Billy Smith. It was the franchise's first championship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe near miss had come three years earlier. The 1916 Gassers went 84-61 and finished a half game back, needing a doubleheader sweep at Fort Worth on the final day and managing only a split. Chick Knaupp led that team at .323 and was still a regular on the 1919 champions. On May 8, 1918, Shreveport and Fort Worth played twenty innings to a 1-1 tie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gassers became a Philadelphia Athletics affiliate in 1923, and the New York Yankees held spring training at Gassers Park in 1921. The name ended in 1925, when a new owner bought both the club and the ballpark, renamed the team the Sports, and renamed the park after himself.\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.
