About the Book

Before television came along, baseball proved to be a primary source of entertainment in small towns around America. Carrollton, Georgia was no exception having had teams in the Georgia State League in 1920-21, and in the Georgia-Alabama League in 1928-30 and again in 1946-50. In this book, author John Bell has 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 diamond 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 for making a bum call. There is also a Carrollton player statistics section that includes every player that took the field in a Carrollton uniform; a player register section with listings of all the different teams the Carrollton players played for; 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 Merrit "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, actor Kurt Russell's father, and his playing days in Carrollton before he went on to star on the TV show Bonanza. And find out the answer to the burning question, "Why is the book called PICKLE IT!"If you're a fan of minor league baseball, you'll love reading PICKLE IT!--------------------------------------------------------------John Bell was born in Americus, Georgia in 1969 and lived there until 1995.
