Texas City Welcomes New Team in Cowboy Collegiate League

Texas City, TX - April 17, 2026

The Players League is expanding into Texas, bringing collegiate summer baseball to the Lone Star State through the newly established Cowboy Collegiate League. Texas City will be home to the Texas City Tall Boys, who will compete alongside the Pearland Cobblers and the Baytown Bulkheads. 

Founded in 2023, The Players League has quickly established itself as a respected organization in collegiate summer baseball. Its flagship league, the Old North State League, operates in North Carolina and features 24 teams across four divisions. The league consistently attracts top collegiate talent from across the country, with more than ten former players advancing to professional baseball in 2025 alone.

“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome this new franchise into our league family,” said Alec Allred, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Players League. “From day one, the enthusiasm and commitment from this community have been outstanding. We’re eager to see this team take the field and become a cornerstone of the league.”

The Texas City Tall Boys will play their home games at Robinson Stadium and are scheduled to begin their inaugural season in June, with playoffs set for late July and early August. As a collegiate summer wood-bat team, the Tall Boys will deliver high-level competition while providing affordable, family-friendly entertainment throughout the summer months.  

The roster will feature top collegiate players from across the country, bringing an exciting brand of baseball to Galveston County. Beyond the action on the field, fans can look forward to themed nights, community events, youth engagement initiatives, and strong local partnerships — making Tall Boys games a complete summer entertainment experience.
