Little Rock--Southern League Question

[Hot Springs Bathers]

Robert and Jerry there has been tons of neat baseball research done on Arkansas baseball in the last ten years. A young man from Bryant and a dozen others have turned up lots of info. I would hope you both might try to attend the next meeting of the Brooks Robinson-George Kell chapter of SABR which will be in Little Rock either the last Saturday in January of the first in February. No need to be a SABR member just come and listen to some cool research.!

Mike, I didn't know anything about that. I will attend if I am able. Thank you for the info on that. I will Google the organization and educate myself. Thanks!

I just picked this up, it made me think of this thread. Figured I would bump it back up and share this photo.

I have a Little Rock uniform and cleats from the 1950's

It was Geese Ausbie's of the Harlem Globetrotters, he played minor league ball in Little Rock

That's cool Ed....I always got Goose Tatum and Geese Ausbie confused....Ausbie was from Little Rock and Tatum was from El Dorado I think...Jerry

Jerry, I was hoping it would get you to post. Good to hear from you. Do you know the year based on the uniform? It is Sam Covington, so I am guessing it is 1915 or 1916, but I think he came back in 1925 or something like that.
