About the Piney Woods TimberHogs
The TimberHogs mascot and primary logo were unveiled on February 1, 2024, at a public event in White Oak, Texas.
The name TimberHogs reflects the team’s connection to East Texas, paying tribute to the Piney Woods region and its deep-rooted history in the lumber industry. You can read more about that history here: Logging in Texas.
The name also acknowledges the region’s large population of wild boars, a well-known part of East Texas wildlife. Read more about the history of Texas hogs here: Wild Hogs in Texas.
A Strong Start on the Field
In the inaugural season of the Mid America League, the TimberHogs made an immediate impact, earning a playoff berth and featuring some of the league’s top talent. The team rostered both the league MVP and Pitcher of the Year, setting a high standard for future seasons.
Bringing Baseball Back to East Texas
“We are thrilled to have a franchise in White Oak that represents the entire East Texas region,” said Matt Perry, President of the Mid America League. “This area has produced some of the best baseball players in Texas, and we’re excited to bring a high level of competition back to East Texas.”
The TimberHogs are led by General Manager J.T. Rogoszewski and Head Coach Steve Maddock as they prepare for the 2025 season.
