Greenville Majors

The Greenville Majors minor league baseball team played in the East Texas League (1946), Big State League (1947–1950, 1953) and Sooner State League (1957).[1] It was based in the American city of Greenville, Texas. The club was affiliated with the New York Yankees, whom they defeated in a 1949 home game at Majors Stadium.[2] Both the stadium and team were named after Lt. Truett Jay Majors, the first youth from Greenville to be killed in WW2.[3]
