The franchise entered the Texas League in 1920, won the league championship in 1927, and joined the Big State League as a founding member in 1947.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrank Saucier hit .446 for Wichita Falls in 1949, then became the player pulled from the lineup in favor of 3'7\" Eddie Gaedel in one of baseball's most famous publicity stunts while with the St. Louis Browns in 1951. The Spudders won the 1953 Big State League championship before a disastrous 27-109 Longhorn League season in 1954. Danny Ozark managed the club in 1956 before helming the Philadelphia Phillies to three consecutive division titles from 1976 through 1978. The franchise went 4-26 in 1957 and disbanded on May 23, one of the departures that effectively ended the Big State League.\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.
