The '''San Antonio Missions''' are a [[Minor League Baseball]] team based in [[San Antonio]], Texas. The Missions compete in the [[Texas League]] as the [[Double-A (baseball)|Double-A]] affiliate of the [[San Diego Padres]]. The team plays its home games at [[Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium]], which opened in 1994 and seats over 6,200 people with a total capacity of over 9,000. The Missions are named for the Spanish missions around which the city was founded.

==History==
{{Unreferenced section|date=November 2014}}

===Early years===
[[San Antonio]] was home for one of the charter members of the [[Texas League]] back in 1888. Since that inaugural season the town has hosted a number of Texas League franchises, most of them using the Missions moniker. [[Baseball]] was absent only a few of the early years (1889-1891,1893–1894, 1900–1902) and again when World War II occupied most would-be ballplayers between 1943 and 1945. Initially the team went by the names "Missionaries", "Gentlemen", and "Bronchos"—a Spanish twist on the name "Broncos". During these years, nearly 250 players reached the major leagues.

The current Missions moniker was coined with the team's first major league affiliation, a partnership with the [[St. Louis Browns]]. They remained affiliated with the Browns through the Texas League's temporary demise after the 1942 season due to [[World War II]]. With the return of peace, they reaffiliated with the Browns, a partnership that continued in 1954 when they became the [[Baltimore Orioles]]. This affiliation lasted until 1959, when they struck up a partnership with the [[Chicago Cubs]]. While with the Browns/Orioles, the team saw well over 100 players reach the [[Major League Baseball]], including Hall-of-Famers [[Willard Brown]] (1956) and [[Brooks Robinson]] (1956–1957).

The Missions won the [[Dixie Series]], a postseason interleague championship between the champions of the [[Southern Association]] and the Texas League, in 1950, defeating the [[Nashville Vols]], 4–3, in the best-of-seven series.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/56235791/baseball-results/|via=Newspapers.com|title=Baseball Results|work=The Knoxville News-Sentinel|location=Knoxville|date=October 6, 1950|page=12}}</ref>
The Missions won the Pan American Series a postseason interleague championship between the champions of the Mexican League and Texas League, in 1961 defeaeating the Veracruz Aguilas 4–2 in the best of seven series.(Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball, Third Edition, 2007, Lloyd Johnson and Miles Wolff, editors.)
The Missions name was used for the teams affiliated with the Cubs, through 1962. In just four years in the Cubs' system, more than 50 alumni reached the major leagues—including future [[Baseball Hall of Fame|Hall of Famers]] [[Ron Santo]] (1959) and [[Billy Williams (left fielder)|Billy Williams]] (1959).

The Missions changed their name to the Bullets in 1963, when the team joined the new [[Houston Colt .45s]] organization. The idea behind the name was that the team's prospects would be the "bullets to the gun" of the .45s team. The Bullets boasted 30 prospects that would go on to see time in Major League Baseball, including Hall-of-Famer [[Joe Morgan]] and two-time [[National League (baseball)|National League]] All-Star [[Jerry Grote]].

In 1965, the San Antonio franchise moved to [[Amarillo, Texas|Amarillo]]. Three years later, in 1968, baseball returned to San Antonio, again taking on the Missions name, as part of an expansion of the Texas League. Again playing as a Cubs affiliate, another 42 future big leaguers took the field over a four-year stretch. After the 1971 season, the team packed up again and moved to [[Midland, Texas|Midland]], where they continued as the [[Midland Cubs]].

In 1972, another ownership group brought baseball into town to replace the group that left to Midland, and brought with it an affiliation with the [[Milwaukee Brewers]], just two years removed from their move to Wisconsin from Seattle. With the affiliation change to the Brewers, the franchise took the parent club's nickname—which it kept despite changes in affiliation to the [[Cleveland Indians]] (1973–1975) and [[Texas Rangers (baseball)|Texas Rangers]] (1976). The Brewers nickname fit the city almost as well as it fit their single-season affiliate in Milwaukee, being the home of the [[Pearl Brewing Company]].

The future major league players continued to pour onto the field through the affiliation changes, and more than 30 San Antonio Brewers made it to the top. Among them was Hall-of-Fame pitcher [[Dennis Eckersley]], an Indians farmhand who tore through the Texas League in 1974.

===Los Angeles Dodgers (1977–2000)===
The team became the San Antonio Dodgers with a change in affiliation to the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]] in 1977. While the franchise kept the Dodger moniker for 11 seasons (1977–1987), locals still referred to them occasionally as the Missions. The Dodgers responded by officially changing their nickname back to Missions for the 1988 season.

The Missions were the Double-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers until 2000, making the relationship the longest-standing major league affiliation held by the San Antonio franchise. During the partnership, Dodgers legends frequented the Alamo City, including [[Tommy Lasorda]]. In the 23 years with Los Angeles, some 211 players went on to see time in the majors. That includes players like [[Ron Washington]] (1977), [[Bob Welch (baseball)|Bob Welch]] (1977), [[Ron Roenicke]] (1978–1979), [[Mike Scioscia]] (1978), [[Dave Stewart (baseball)|Dave Stewart]] (1978), [[Orel Hershiser]] (1980–1981, 1991), [[Fernando Valenzuela]] (1980), [[Steve Sax]] (1981), [[Sid Bream]] (1982), [[Sid Fernandez]] (1983), [[Franklin Stubbs]] (1983), [[Ramón Martínez (pitcher)|Ramón Martínez]] (1988, 1996), [[John Wetteland]] (1988), [[Eric Karros]] (1990), [[Pedro Martínez]] (1991), [[Raúl Mondesí]] (1991–1992), [[Eric Young Sr.|Eric Young]] (1991), [[Mike Piazza]] (1992), [[Henry Blanco]] (1993–1996), [[Todd Hollandsworth]] (1993), [[Chan Ho Park]] (1994), [[Miguel Cairo]] (1995), [[Paul Lo Duca]] (1995, 1997), [[Paul Konerko]] (1996), [[Alex Cora]] (1997), [[Dennys Reyes]] (1997), [[Adrián Beltré]] (1998), and [[Éric Gagné]] (1999).

The team played the bulk of its years with the Dodgers at [[V. J. Keefe Memorial Stadium]], which they shared with the [[St. Mary's University, Texas|St. Mary's University]] baseball team. In 1994, the team moved into [[Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium]], utilizing a design typical of baseball stadiums build during the late-1980s through the mid-1990s. The new stadium was named in honor of [[Nelson Wolff]], the mayor of San Antonio at the time the stadium was built.

The affiliation with the Dodgers ended after the 2000 season with both clubs mutually agreeing to part.

===Seattle Mariners (2001–2006)===
From 2001 until 2006, the [[Seattle Mariners]] had a player development contract with the team that brought back-to-back Texas League Championships during the 2002 and 2003 seasons.

The Mariners, fresh off a record season, was stocked with talent in a minor league system built by [[Pat Gillick]], who worked with San Antonio as the farm director of the Houston Colt .45s in 1963. Gillick's prospects turned San Antonio into a Texas League powerhouse, boasting future major leaguers [[Willie Bloomquist]], [[Jeff Farnsworth]], [[J. J. Putz]], [[Rafael Soriano]], [[Greg Dobbs]], [[Julio Mateo]], [[Gil Meche]], [[Cha Seung Baek]], [[José López (first baseman)|Jose Lopez]], [[George Sherrill]], [[Shin-Soo Choo]], [[Félix Hernández]], [[Mike Morse]], [[Aaron Taylor (baseball)|Aaron Taylor]], [[Aaron Looper]], [[Allan Simpson]], and [[Yuniesky Betancourt]].

The 2006 Missions struggled to score runs and finished 60–77 overall (27–41, 33–37). The team was plagued by high player turnover and featured 52 different players over the course of the season.

===San Diego Padres (2007–2018)===
The Missions entered into a new player development contract with the [[San Diego Padres]] beginning in 2007. [[Randy Ready]] managed the Missions that season following a promotion from the Class A [[Fort Wayne Wizards]]. The first home game as a member of the Padres organization was on April 12, 2007, a 2–0 win against the [[Tulsa Drillers]]. Sean Thompson picked up the win and helped score a run. Led by [[Chase Headley]] and [[Josh Geer]], who won [[Texas League Player of the Year Award|Player of the Year]] and [[Texas League Pitcher of the Year Award|Pitcher of the Year]] honors respectively, the Missions were the 2007 Texas League Champions.

From the beginning of the affiliation with the Padres, the Missions saw nearly a dozen players go on to play the big leagues. Most notably include rising Padres regulars: [[Chase Headley]], [[Kyle Blanks]], [[Nick Hundley]], [[Tim Stauffer]], [[Mat Latos]], [[Matt Antonelli]], [[Chad Huffman]], [[Will Venable]], and [[Luis Durango]].

The 2009 season started out with an exhibition game between players on the Missions roster and members of the Padres' big league [[Spring Training]] roster. The result was a 7–3 win for the minor league affiliate, bolstered by a grand slam by San Antonio-native Seth Johnston. Under the leadership of former MLB All-Star [[Terry Kennedy (baseball)|Terry Kennedy]], the team earned a playoff berth by winning the first-half division title—clinching the berth on the road during an extra-innings win at Corpus Christi on June 23, the last game in the first half of the season.

The season was anticlimactic, however, as the team struggled down the final stretch and into playoffs. The Missions were eliminated by the Midland RockHounds, the eventual Texas League title winners, in four games—managing only to win one playoff game behind the pitching of [[Will Inman (baseball)|Will Inman]].

Several players stood out at times during the 2009 season, some of them being promoted for their performance. Outfielder [[Mike Baxter (baseball)|Mike Baxter]] was promoted early on for his assault on Texas League pitching, batting .376 with 23 doubles in 51 games. Pitchers [[Tim Stauffer]], [[Cesar Carrillo]], and [[Mat Latos]] were promoted to the Padres after performing well at the Double-A level, though Stauffer and Carrillo both spent a few weeks at the Triple-A level before moving on to the Majors. First baseman Craig Cooper led the team with a .312 average and 11 home runs by the end of the season. Outfielder [[Luis Durango]] led the Texas League with 44 stolen bases. Right-hander [[Ernesto Frieri]] led the team in most pitching categories, finishing the season protected on the 40-man major league roster.

For the 2010 season, the Missions were managed by [[Doug Dascenzo]], who previously managed Class A [[Fort Wayne TinCaps]] to the best regular-season record in Minor League Baseball and a [[Midwest League]] title in 2009. The 2010 Texas League All-Star Game featured seven Missions players, including three starters. Pitchers [[Simón Castro]], [[Wynn Pelzer]], [[Craig Italiano]], and [[Evan Scribner]] were selected to represent the Missions along with catcher [[Luis Martinez (catcher)|Luis Martinez]], first baseman [[Matt Clark (baseball)|Matt Clark]] and outfielder [[Cedric Hunter (baseball)|Cedric Hunter]]. Just before the game, Cedric was promoted to the Triple-A [[Portland Beavers]], allowing utility infielder [[Andy Parrino]] to attend the All-Star Game in his place.

The Missions got a hot start to the 2011 season, finishing April with the best record in Double-A baseball.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.milb.com |title=The official site of Minor League Baseball &#124; MiLB.com Homepage |publisher=Milb.com |access-date=May 9, 2012}}</ref> They also amassed the most home runs of any team in Minor League Baseball in that time despite playing in the notoriously pitcher-friendly Wolff Stadium. Their early season success can be attributed to a roster filled with some of the top slugging prospects in the Padres' system, including [[Jaff Decker]] and [[Cody Decker]] (not related). They also had an offensive boost with the return of [[Kyle Blanks]], who played for the Missions in 2008, and rehabbed with the Missions after [[Tommy John surgery]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/38456548/ns/sports-player_news |title=Blanks needs Tommy John surgery on elbow – MLB- NBC Sports |publisher=Nbcsports.msnbc.com |date=July 28, 2010 |access-date=May 9, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121011182305/http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/38456548/ns/sports-player_news |archive-date=October 11, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The Missions won the first-half division title, then won their twelfth Texas League Championship, sweeping the [[Arkansas Travelers]] in the Texas League Championship series.

==Rivals==
The Missions' chief rival from 2005 to 2018 was the [[Corpus Christi Hooks]]. The teams contended to determine which is the better team of South Texas. The Missions were previously rivals with the [[Round Rock Express]], but this was interrupted when the Express joined the PCL in 2005. The Missions and Express competed again in the PCL's American Conference Southern Division from 2019 to 2020.

==Signature promotions==
Since 1989, during the seventh inning of each game, an auxiliary mascot named Henry the Puffy Taco is chased around the bases by a child from the stands, typically between 6 and 10 years of age. The kid tackles the giant taco to the ground just before reaching home plate (they start at first base), then poses triumphantly over the downed mascot. Henry has only won the race once, in 1992. In that race, Henry mistimed his steps and he inadvertently crossed home plate before his 10-year-old opponent. Nearly 20 years later the Missions hosted a rematch and, on June 24, 2010, the child finally avenged his loss.

The team has two unique giveaway nights—Shirt Off Your Back and Used Car Giveaway. In the first, often held on or near the last game of the season, the jerseys worn by the players during the game are raffled off to fans in the stands (raffle tickets are offered at no charge, and each fan is limited to one entry). The same raffle format is used for the Used Car Giveaway, where more than 10 used cars are given away throughout the night. In 2010, the prizes included a 2001 Ford Mustang and a 2001 Volvo S60.

==Former Missions with MLB experience==
More than 700 former San Antonio baseball players have reached the major leagues, if only for a "[[Cup of coffee (sports idiom)|cup of coffee]]". Some of the more notable players include:

In addition, [[Brian Anderson (broadcaster)|Brian Anderson]]—the former radio voice of the San Antonio Missions—has reached the big leagues as the broadcaster for the [[Milwaukee Brewers]].

==Ballpark==
{{main|Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium}}

The Missions play their home games at [[Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium]] which opened in 1994. The ballpark seats more than 6,200 spectators and holds more than 9,000 people with additional outfield grass berm seating. The team has sought a new stadium since 2009, and continues to do so, though the team moved to the Triple-A Pacific Coast League in 2019.

Tickets for Missions games are priced on par with other minor league parks, ranging from $11 to $30 based on the section of the ballpark or $10 for berm seating.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.milb.com/tickets/singlegame.jsp?sid=t510|title=Individual Game Tickets – San Antonio Missions Tickets|website=San Antonio Missions|access-date=2016-04-08}}</ref>
