Gordon Enloe Houston (March 20, 1916 – February 10, 1942) was an American professional outfielder and shortstop who played from 1937 through 1940 in Minor League Baseball.

Both were stars on the baseball and football teams at Sunset High School in Dallas, and following their graduation in 1934, they enrolled at College of the Ozarks in Clarksville.

[2] After moving to San Antonio, Gordon and C. L. enrolled at local St. Mary's University,[2] and pretty soon they received an invitation to attend a tryout with the Monroe Twins of the Class-C Cotton States League.

[2] Houston had his most productive season with the Liners in 1938, when he led the East Texas League with a .384 average and his .618 slugging percentage was second best in the eight-team circuit.

[1] Besides, Houston appeared in the midseason East Texas League All-Star Game in which played eleven future major leaguers.

[1] Houston rebounded in 1940 while playing his third consecutive season with Texarkana, appearing in a career-high 129 games and leading the team in average (.304), hits (158) and doubles (30).

In November 1940, the Houston brothers decided to enlist in the peacetime United States Army Air Corp since they both wanted to be pilots.

Piloting his Republic P-43 Lancer, a pre-war fighter plane poorly fit for combat, Houston would lead his flight up and down the coast on the lookout for Japanese submarines or aircraft carriers that might be tempted by the concentration of large airplane manufacturing plants in that region.
