From 1946 through 1952, the Houma Indians of the Evangeline League played as the communities first professional baseball team.

The team was officially announced to the public on October 24, 2002, at the Terrebonne Parish Courthouse Annex.

The team would open the 2003 season at home against the Pensacola Pelicans, and defeat the defending league champs by a score of 11-5 behind pitching ace Steven Locklar.

However, ownership failed to submit the proper workers' compensation paperwork to the state in order to use Southland Field.

By the end of the season, the team would simply play their "home" games at the visitors’ ballpark.
