do you know the name of the team ?

Good Question, I guess it would have been "Big Wells" sponsored by Pool Oil Field Services??

The coaches worked for Pool and they got the company to sponsor us. I guess that's why we had their logo instead of Big Wells on the chest. If you notice R.Serna has one of the old uniforms that had Big Wells on the front and the name of the individual sponsor on the back. So everyone had a different name on the back (store names,barber shop,churches,gas station). It was the first year for Pool to sponsor us, they went all out with equiptment, shoes, uniforms. If I am not mistaken Pool donated the material for the baseball field that was located at the south end of town. I remember the coach making us plant plugs of grass on that field when they built it. Does it still exist? I think this was the first year we came out in first place with teams from Carrizo and Asherton. Well, more info then you asked for.

I wonder, does Big Wells have a Little League team anymore? Or any other kids teams?
