[1] While semi-professional teams were not uncommon in Texas at the time, the Alpine Cowboys had the unusual benefit of a brand new stadium, Kokernot Field, opened for them in 1947.

Constructed at a cost of $1.5 million, the elaborately decorated stadium included imported infield clay shipped by train from Georgia.

The Cowboys used the stadium as its home field from 1947 through 1958, during which time they took a dozen titles in the regional and were runners up for a national championship.

The team featured future major league stars, including Norm Cash, Gaylord Perry, and Joe Horlen.

[4][5][3] The 1959 champion team was managed by future Red Sox manager Eddie Popowski and featured three future major leaguers, pitcher Don Schwall, who two years later won the American League Rookie of the Year Awards; second baseman Chuck Schilling, who finished fourth behind Schwall in the same balloting; and pitcher Guido Grilli.

[7][8] After the 2010 season, Alpine reorganized as a nonprofit corporation and became charter members of the Pecos League alongside Las Cruces.

[10] On June 9, 2023, pitcher Jared Strait died in a car crash outside of Eldorado, Texas while on a road trip to play Austin.
