The Buffalos were Houston's minor league baseball team through 1961; the team was disbanded when the Houston Colts franchise was formed and joined the National League.

The Buffs' games were played in Buff Stadium on the Gulf Freeway, where the Finger Furniture store stands today (I-45 south of downtown Houston).

Here are some Buffs player photos, programs and memorabilia.
