The Harlingen WhiteWings are a professional baseball team based in Harlingen, Texas, in the United States. The WhiteWings are a member of the United Baseball League and the Texas Winter League, neither of which are affiliated with Major League Baseball. From the 1994 season to the present, the WhiteWings have played their home games at Harlingen Field.

History

The WhiteWings were a charter member of the Texas-Louisiana League in 1994, which became the Central Baseball League. The WhiteWings won the Texas-Louisiana League Championship in 2000, upsetting the San Angelo Colts and Amarillo Dillas to win the pennant under manager Eddie Dennis. After falling on hard times the WhiteWings suspended operations in 2003. In late 2005, United League Baseball announced that the WhiteWings would resume play as the first charter member of the new league in 2006.
