Take Me Out to the Ballpark in West Texas!
This vintage-inspired tee celebrates the beloved Midland Angels, the Double-A franchise that brought high-caliber baseball excitement to the oil-rich city of Midland, Texas in the 1970s. Though their tenure was relatively brief, the Angels provided endless thrills and cherished memories.
The Midland Angels arrived in 1972 as the Double-A affiliate of the California Angels. Playing their home games at cozy Christensen Stadium, the talented minor league squad quickly won over local fans with their winning style of play and rosters full of prospects like Bobby Grich and Brian Downing.
Known for sporting classic Angels road uniforms with the iconic "LA" logo across the chest, the Midland Angels represented the big league dreams of aspiring ballplayers just a step away from the majors. Crowds showed up in droves, eager to catch a glimpse of future MLB stars honing their craft.
More than just a successful franchise, the Angels served as an uplifting source of community pride and affordable family entertainment for the hardworking folks of the Permian Basin. Between innings, jovial mascot "Angey" the cow led kids in games and spontaneous comedy routines brought smiles to all ages.
While the Angels departed for Idaho after the 1975 season, their feel-good spirit lives on through this nostalgic t-shirt featuring their vintage jersey logo. Made of a soft cotton blend, it's available in sizes S-5XL in team colors like red, navy, sky blue and white. Whether you followed the Angels back in the day or simply appreciate timeless baseball Americana, this retro Midland tee is a true West Texas treasure. Play ball and grab yours today!
