Houston Ship Channel

Houston Buffaloes
The Houston Buffaloes, Houston Buffalos, or Buffs were an American minor league baseball team, and were the first minor league team to be affiliated with a Major League franchise, which was the St. Louis Cardinals.
 The club was founded in 1888, and played in the Texas League at various levels throughout the majority of its existence.
 Most recently, from 1959 through 1961, the team played in the American Association at the Triple-A level of high minor league baseball as an affiliate of the Chicago Cubs.
 The Buffaloes derived their nickname from Buffalo Bayou, the principal waterway through Houston to the Houston Ship Channel, outlet to the Gulf of Mexico.

 Before that, they played at West End Park from 1905–1928, and at Herald Park prior to that. Magnolia Park, Houston

Sheldon Lake is a reservoir on Carpenters Bayou in the San Jacinto River basin, 16 miles (26 km) northeast of downtown Houston, Texas.

 After the war, management of the reservoir was assumed by the City of Houston.
