Odessa in The House of Daniel
The House of Daniel played in Odessa against the Coyotes in May, 1934. The game was played in city park; House of Daniel manager Harv Watrous was not happy, as there were fewer paying customers. He resolved that next year, the team would play in Midland, which had a ball field. Moreover, the Coyotes beat the House, 7-2.

While they were in Odessa, a vampire tied to convince Jack Spivey and Eddie Lelivelt to join him. It kept at it until Spivey drove it off with his cross.
