Sugar Land Space Cowboys
The team started playing baseball as the Sugar Land Skeeters in 2012. They were a part of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, a baseball league not partnered with MLB. Their name was another word for mosquitos, which can be found in Texas. They won championships in 2016 and 2018. In 2022, the team was bought by the Houston Astros and their name was changed to the Space Cowboys. The name was chosen because of their partnership with the Astros, Sugar Land's location near NASA's Johnson Space Center, and the area's cowboy culture.
