Far from ideal conditions for a game requiring well-maintained grass to be played upon, so the richness of minor league baseball in Roswell NM comes as a bit of a surprise. Less so that it has been interspersed with long fallow periods. Of its various iterations, the Rockets moniker is the most commonly-used, although the city's current Invaders club that has been playing in the Pecos League since 2011 can perhaps now lay claim to that honour.
The club was a Pirates affiliate in 1959 and played host to a young future Hall of Fame OF by the name of Willie Stargell.
