Earlier I wrote that I was going to check the Texas Almanac at our local library and try to locate more details regarding the 1946 Texas League season. But, alas, the Alvin library doesn't keep back issues anymore. I haven't checked to see if any of the other branches in our Brazoria County system have any going back that far, but even if they do, they're probably considered a research resource not available for check-out. I'm not sure I'd want to drive to Angleton or to Pearland or wherever just to glean what information that might be in the 1946 Texas Almanac.
However, the Dallas Morning News seems to have practically everything they've published online now. The problem is that access is pretty expensive. Just one day's access cost about ten bucks. But, you know, someday I just might try that to see what all info I could gather in a day.
For now, though, I'll just write what I remember-- or what I think I remember-- of those glorius '46 and '47 seasons and let it go at that. If I get more iformation in the future I'll doubtless update some entries; until then what's here will be what's here.
