Posted By: <b>Wayne Grove</b><p>The 1955 Dallas Eagles won the Texas League regular season with a 93-67 record. They finished with a one game lead over San Antonio then lost in the first round of the TL playoffs. Beside Knoblauch & Murff ( who is best known as the scout that signed Nolan Ryan) other players on the team that played in the big leagues included Pete Burnside, Ozzie Virgil, Ray Murray and Bill White.
