Texas Collegiate League
Description
The Texas Collegiate League exists to provide the best summer league experience for the best professional prospects from colleges throughout the country. The league will allow those players with eligibility remaining to showcase and improve their skills in a wholesome, minor league-type atmosphere using wooden bats. The league is committed to providing quality, inexpensive entertainment in a small-town, intimate atmosphere that is distinctively Texas, while helping promote the game of baseball in the communities involved.
Texas' first major collegiate summer wooden bat league, the formation of the TCL was announced at a press conference on September 24, 2003. Gerald Haddock, a minority owner and General Counsel of the Texas Rangers from 1989-98 and a passionate baseball fan, agreed to provide financial support and became the league's Chairman.
Teams, owners, and playing facilities in eight north Texas cities were secured. With the assistance of former major league pitcher and TCL Vice President of Baseball Operations Darren Hall, some 250 of the nation's top collegiate players from more than 75 schools were secured. Sponsors providing items such as equipment and transportation were acquired. Coaches and umpires were hired. A 54-game schedule schedule for each team was drafted.
