This Shreveport Sports roster was released for spring training on January 9, 1956.  It is in remarkably fine condition.  It has no markings, stains or tears.  It has been folded to approximately 3-5/8" x 8-1/2", so it has creases when opened up.

   The roster contains information and statistics on 39 players.  See pictures for complete list of names.

   The 1956 Shreveport Sports played in the Class AA Texas League.  They were not affiliated with a Major League team.

   This is a very rare find and I doubt if very many have survived all these years, especially in such near-mint condition.  It will be a great item to frame and display.

   A great sports ephemera addition to any collection.

   You won't want to miss the opportunity to own this vintage piece of memorabilia.  

   Please contact me if you have any questions.  Thank you for looking.

Shreveport has a long history of professional baseball:
