The Houston Buffaloes, affectionately known as the Buffs, laid the groundwork for professional baseball in Texas. As longtime members of the Texas League, the Buffs played at West End Park and later at Buff Stadium, where generations of Houstonians gathered to watch the next wave of baseball greats. Their rosters featured future stars like Dizzy Dean, Solly Hemus, and Rusty Staub, and during their history they served as an affiliate for the St. Louis Cardinals, one of the most successful partnerships in minor league history. Known for their energy, loyalty, and championship pedigree, the Buffs set the standard for Texas baseball excellence. Their influence continues to echo throughout Houston’s rich baseball tradition.
