Texas Valley League
From BR Bullpen
The first Texas Valley League operated in 1927 and 1928 before folding.
The next TVL played one season, 1938. The Corpus Christi Spudders had the best regular-season record, but fell in the championship to the Harlingen Hubs. The TVL was a class D league in both incarnations.
