Ivy Griffin was a true baseball man: a player at many levels, including the majors,
a scout, and a manager. He was involved in the game he loved right up to his death in a car accident in 1961. Griffen signed many players in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama to contracts, including Pete Hamner and Jimmy Cantrell. Griffen scouted for the Cleveland Indians organization in the early fifties, and many of the cards in this collection are his reports of some of the players he scouted during that period. |

Remarks read: Bird dog agreement with Lilburn Odum of Chatom, Ala. Recommended as
outstanding hitter since age 15. Also recommeded by man who recommended Carvel Rowell to me. Boy is 18, rugged build should develop. Carvell |
