The Diboll Eagles were formed in 1950 from the remnants of the Diboll Dragons after an argument over money caused the dissolution of the team. The Diboll Eagles were still largely made up of Southern Pine Lumber employees but also included talented high school boys to fill in as needed. The team continued the tradition of black semi-professional baseball in Diboll until 1958. (Back Row Standing: Amos Randolph, Freddie Randolph Jr., M.
