The South Atlantic League, 1904-1963 by Marshall D. Wright Pdf
This book presents season-by-season information for the original South Atlantic Baseball League, which operated for 60 years in the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida. (In 1963, with the collapse of the Southern Association, the league was promoted to Double-A status and renamed the Southern League.) Each chapter opens with a season summary and is followed by league standings, team records and rosters, and statistics for each player.
"While major league owners squabble over astronomical player salaries, TV revenue, their commissioner and each other, minor league teams across the country are playing the game of baseball the way it used to be played. In this world, owners know the fans by name, players willingly stay after the game to sign autographs, and a family of four can spend three hours at the ballpark - including the cost of soft drinks, beer, hot dogs plus a fireworks show after the game - for under twenty bucks." "America's 150 minor league teams provide family entertainment at bargain prices - and they're profitable. This just might be the kind of business you'd like to put some money in. The teams aren't traded on the New York Stock Exchange, and it's a good bet your broker doesn't know anything about the baseball business. But Jay Acton does, and in this funny, lively, informative book, he will tell you all about it." "But even if you never invest any more than the price of a ticket, Green Diamonds is must reading. Here's an inside look at the game that most informed fans know little about: the crazy promotions that pack minor league fans into the stadiums; the details of the way a team makes (and sometimes loses) money; why minor league owners and general managers believe working for a minor league team is the best job in the world." "If you're a potential investor, Green Diamonds will tell you all you need to know about the business side of baseball. If you just love the game of baseball, Green Diamonds belongs on your shelf as one of the most unusual and informative baseball books of this or any other season."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Hailed as a masterpiece of American travel writing, Blue Highways is an unforgettable journey along our nation's backroads. William Least Heat-Moon set out with little more than the need to put home behind him and a sense of curiosity about "those little towns that get on the map -- if they get on at all -- only because some cartographer has a blank space to fill: Remote, Oregon; Simplicity, Virginia; New Freedom, Pennsylvania; New Hope, Tennessee; Why, Arizona; Whynot, Mississippi." His adventures, his discoveries, and his recollections of the extraordinary people he encountered along the way amount to a revelation of the true American experience.
