2000 San Angelo Colts Team Set

Another independent team card set. I bought at card shop in Austin few years back from the $2 bin. San Angelo Colts were part of Texas-Louisiana League for two years before the league changed its name to Central League. They moved to United League playing from 2006-2010 then resume play in 2014 which is UBL final season before shutting down. Most familiar name from the team was former Indians manager Doc Edwards who manage the team from 2006 til its final seasons. 2000 was Colts inaugural season. Their mascot is a grey colt name Casey. All the players on the set finished their careers in the indy leagues. Few went on to be coaches or a scout or gone into real estate.
One of few players played in AAA level before playing for Colts.
Not the first time seeing Tredaway on here. He was seen last month on 2008 Fort Worth Cats team set as he was manager of the team for three season. His previous managerial experience was for Edinburg Roadrunners (Central League) winning two titles. This would be his final year of playing. Currently coaching for 18U team.
Last season of playing. Prior to playing for Colts he played in Indians organization peaking at AAA. Currently a coach for LeTourneau University.
Stayed in San Angelo and opened up facility called Sports Level Next.
Final year of playing. Currently sports director ambassador of Bafa Academy
Went on become a real estate agent
Manage the team for two seasons. He went on becoming a scout for Boston Red Sox.


Remains in San Angelo as staff of Angelo State University
Is there any more "obscure" independent team sets out there?
