History of the Baseball Queen
Cemented into the early days of the Sonics and Blue Sox rivalry, the "Baseball Queen" became a very popular and beloved event. While the boys played ball, female contestants would raise money by donation and garner cheers for their respective teams. It ran successfully for many years and is making it's way back home, though it might be a bit different than in the good ol' days of Historic Fort Stockton baseball.
Today, the crown comes not by donations, but requirements for a scholarship opportunity. Redesigned for Fort Stockton High School seniors in mind, the new requirements ask applicants to delve into their own family history, their local traditions, and more (see below). The crowning and coronation of the Baseball Queen will take place September 13th, 2025 at Barrio Fest.
