These next two photos were taken on May 22, 1959 at the opening of the new Little League ballpark at the corner of Wood and Kempner Streets. The first shows George Andre giving a speech in which he presented the property deed to the Sugar Land Lions Club, who built the park. (Imperial donated the land.) The second photo shows Sugar Land's two Little League teams, the St. Theresa Knights and the Sugar Land Lions.
