History

In 1907, the Terrell Red Stockings became members of the 1907 four–team, Class D level North Texas League.[1] The Corsicana Oilers, Greenville Hunters and Paris Athletics joined Terrell in beginning league play on April 30, 1907.[2][3]

The "Red Stockings" team name corresponded to the red stirrups with their uniforms.[4]

On June 30, 1907, Terrell had compiled a 19–38 record and were in last place, when the four–team league folded. Lucius Rash, Cy Malkey, Rube Walters and Scudder Bell all served as managers of the Red Stockings during the season.[5] Terrell finished 18.0 games behind the first place Corsicana Oilers, who finished 38–21 and ahead of second place Paris and third place Greenville.[6][7][8]

In 1916, the Terrell Red Stockings were succeeded in minor league play by the Terrell Cubs, who began play as members of the Class D level Central Texas League.[9][10][8]
