This 502 page book is a statistical history of the Georgia-Alabama, Georgia-Florida, and Georgia State Baseball Leagues spanning from 1906 to 1963. It features player statistics for nearly every player who ever pitched, batted, or took the field in one or more of these leagues. Also featured are recaps of each year and league, team rosters of each team, season and all-time league leaders and records, league all-star teams, maps of each league by year, players who played/managed at the major league level, and more. See the stats of Willie McCovey from his first professional baseball assignment in Sandersville, Georgia in 1955. Check out the early managerial numbers of Earl Weaver when he played and managed for Fitzgerald and Dublin in 1957 and 1958. Another Hall-of-Famer named Red Schoendienst made his professional debut down in Albany, Georgia in 1942. Numerous big leaguers got their start playing class-D baseball in one of the small Georgia cities. League cities in Georgia include: Albany, Americus, Baxley, Brunswick, Carrollton, Cedartown, Columbus, Cordele, Douglas, Dublin, Eastman, Fitzgerald, Griffin, Hazlehurst, Jesup, LaGrange, Lindale, Lyons, Moultrie, Newnan, Rome, Sandersville, Sparta, Statesboro, Thomasville, Thomson, Tifton, Valdosta, Vidalia, and Waycross. Cities who participated from other states include from Alabama: Alabama City, Anniston, Attalla, Dothan, Gadsden, Huntsville, Lanett, Opelika, Selma, Talladega, Tallassee, and Valley; and from Florida: Gainesville, Panama City, and Tallahassee. This book is loaded from cover to cover with statistics and information about these three great class-D minor leagues. Sorry, there aren't any pictures except on the cover. Hoping to have a photographic history of the leagues in the near future.
