Default T-206 Southern League Players, Were These Cards of Minor League Players

Posted By: peter chao

I would like nothing better than to spend my entire day reading baseball books but unfortunately I am unable to. It is a perfectly innocent question. I wish I had the time to question the motives of Net54 members.

Edited to add: Actually, the question is not as basic as it looks at first glance. Generally, it is known that Branch Rickey was a pioneer in the use of the farm system as we know it. Did the Southern League have any formal ties with major league teams similiar to what Branch Rickey created?
