Descriptions, Reviews, etc.

Description: For ten seasons (from 1985 to 1994) the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos (The Owls of the Two Laredos) were the only team in professional sports to represent two nations. The "Tecos" had home parks on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border, in Laredo, Texas, and in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Cultural anthropologist Alan Klein gives us the full story of the rise and unexpected demise of this surprising team. Photos.
