It may come as a surprise to you that Beaumont has a place in baseball history. Our topic today is Stuart Stadium, where the Beaumont Exporters, a Texas League baseball team, played between 1929 and 1957 in what is now the South End of Beaumont. Our guest is Jess Stuart, grandson of Rube Stuart, who owned the Exporters for much of that period and built the stadium that bears his name.
Jess tells us about how his grandfather came to Beaumont as a young man at the turn of the century, worked in the oilfields during the Spindletop era, and eventually came to own the Exporter franchise and build the stadium. His investment was not necessarily financially motivated as the team he bought rarely had a winning season. Rather, he was as much motivated to give Beaumont a source of civic pride. However, as the years went by, he invested heavily in talent and built a winning ball team.
