Raise Your Hand if You Remember the Dallas Submarines

I remember Dad taking me a high-school football game to old P.C. Cobb Stadium, and I saw the Dallas/Fort Worth Spurs play minor-league baseball at Turnpike Stadium. What I don't remember is something called the Dallas Submarines. Apparently they evolved into the Dallas Steers? P.C. Cobb is now the Infomart...

P.C. Cobb is now the Infomart. Turnpike Stadium is a grassy hill out beyond Rangers Ballpark. And the Submarines?

Thanks to a cool site that I just spent time and money on -- throwbackmax.com -- the 1920s baseball team lives on. At least their shirts do.

The Subs, as I'm sure they were called, played in the Texas League before the Great Depression.

Anyone?
