Minor League Baseball of Carrollton, Georgia by John Bell foreword by Hiram Bray Hi, my name is John Bell. I have recently published this book: PICKLE IT! — Minor League Baseball of Carrollton, Georgia. Before television came along, baseball proved to be a primary source of entertainment in small towns around America. Carrollton was no exception having had teams in the Georgia State League in 1920-21, and the Georgia-Alabama League in 1928-30 and again in 1946-50. In this book, I’ve taken an in-depth look at each of these seasons as well as the « in-between » years when semi-pro and industrial league baseball provided the fans with their baseball entertainment. PICKLE IT! features a detailed recap of each season including league standings, team rosters, astounding baseball feats, on-field marriages, and fans attacking the umpire. There is also a Carrollton player statistics section that includes statistics of all Carrollton players; a player register section with listings of all the different teams the Carrollton players played on; and league opponent rosters for each season. There is a photograph section with eighteen pages of rare photographs of the Carrollton teams through the years including a shot of Commissioner Happy Chandler on a visit in 1948, and a section of Carrollton team and league records. Learn about major leaguers who came through Carrollton such as Merritt « Sugar » Cain, Ed Chaplin, Carl East, Lou Finney, Paul Fittery, Charles « Red » Roberts, Jo-Jo White, Kemp Wicker, and others. Also, learn about Bing Russell, Kurt Russell’s father, and his baseball playing days in Carrollton before he went on to star on the TV show Bonanza. Cost is $12.50 per copy
