The league temporarily operated for the 2021 season as Double-A Central before reassuming its original moniker in 2022.

The term "Texas Leaguer" to describe a bloop hit, a soft fly ball that falls for a hit beyond the infielders' reach but too short for the outfielders to catch, has been extant since at least 1903[1] and was common throughout American baseball in the 20th century and to some degree into the 21st.

The source of the idiom is not known but among other theories has been attributed to Ollie Pickering's feat in a Texas League game of April 4, 1901, in which he made seven such hits in succession.

Talk of this singular feat is supposed to have spread widely, bringing the term with it.

Teams once known as the Jackson Mets, El Paso Diablos, Shreveport Captains, and Wichita Wranglers all relocated to new cities and bigger stadiums.
