The '''San Angelo Colts''' were a professional baseball team based in [[San Angelo, Texas]], in the United States. The Colts were most recently a member of [[United League Baseball]], an independent professional league which was not affiliated with [[Major League Baseball]] or [[Minor League Baseball]].  The Colts played their home games at [[Foster Field]].

The team experienced declining attendance in later years and announced on July 2, 2014 that it had filed for [[Chapter 11, Title 11, United States Code|Chapter 11]] bankruptcy protection.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gosanangelo.com/news/colts-baseball-club-files-bankruptcy-but-team|title=SAN ANGELO COLTS: Colts file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy – San Angelo Standard Times|work=gosanangelo.com|date=2014-07-02|access-date=2014-08-13}}</ref>  Although it was stated at the time that operations would not be affected, the team announced on August 11, 2014 that the final 8 games of the 2014 season would not be played.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gosanangelo.com/news/local-news/colts-bankruptcy-update_01342930|title=Colts bankruptcy update|work=gosanangelo.com|date=2014-08-11|access-date=2014-08-13}}</ref>

The combination of the Colts' financial issues, the loss of the home stadium of the [[Fort Worth Cats]] and low attendance led to the folding of United League Baseball, and all of its member teams, in January 2015.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.baseballessential.com/news/2015/01/15/united-league-baseball-folds-after-seven-seasons/|title=United League Baseball Folds After Seven Seasons|work=Baseball Essential|date=January 15, 2015|first=Anton|last=Joe|access-date=March 30, 2015}}</ref>

==Historical use of the name==

The original San Angelo Colts played in the Class D West Texas League in 1922.  The team had started out as the [[San Angelo Bronchos]] the year before.

In 1948, another team using the Colts name began play in the [[Longhorn League]].  When the league changed names to the [[Southwestern League]] in 1956, the Colts stayed on board, but folded before the start of the 1957 season.

The Colts had been a part of independent baseball since 2000 with the [[Texas–Louisiana League]] (2000–2001), [[Central Baseball League]] (2002–2005), [[United League Baseball]] (2006–2010) and [[North American League (baseball)|North American League]] (2011–2012).
