History

The team first came into existence in 1989 as a joint affiliate of the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers.[2] From 1990 to 1993, and again in 1995, the team shared an affiliation with the Baltimore Orioles. The team suspended operations for the 1994 season.[3] In 1996, the team shared an affiliation with the Milwaukee Brewers,[4] before suspending operations again for 1997. The team returned in 1998 with a shared affiliation with the Anaheim Angels.[5] The team became an independent White Sox affiliate in 1999, which they have remained ever since. For the 2007 and 2008 seasons, the team split into DSL White Sox 1 and DSL White Sox 2.
