Question: Where in Texas did a minor league team beat Joe Dimaggio’s Yankees in an exhibition game?
Answer: Greenville, which was home to the Majors between 1946 and 1950. Named after Truett Majors, the first Greenville resident killed in World War II, the team beat the Yankees 4-3 in an exhibition game on April 10, 1949. Casey Stengel was manager for the Yankees, and Joe DiMaggio played center field. All that remains of the field where the Majors once played is an entryway built by the Works Progress Administration in 1940.
