Little Rock--Southern League Question

[Orioles1954]

Almost certain there are no T209 and T213-2 or later Little Rock cards. T210 would be your best shot. Not sure about T211. Wooo Pig!

Team is looking great. Really like Macon, Barford, Gafford and Beard in the starting lineup. Hopefully football will find a quality coach soon. WPS forever!

Given our experience at guard, it could be a good season. It would be great to make it to the second weekend of the NCAA tournament. Mike has a good recruiting class coming in next year as well.

Football is a different matter.
A search committee for finding a new AD was formed today. Bielema will probably be relieved of duty this weekend. Honestly, the whole thing feels like a mess and reminds me of the fiasco when we fired Stan Heath, briefly hired Dana Altman, and ended up with Pelphrey. Stay tuned!

Robert- There is a RRPC of the Little Rock team in the Southern League that dates from the 1909-14 period. I have the postcards for Little Rock and three other teams from that period. I will ask my daughter for assistance posting that PC in the next couple of days.

Please also remember that basketball is not a real sport. Only baseball and football count in the south.

If my memory serves correctly, Little Rock sold/converted to Chattanooga in early 1910. This is also why you see Chattanooga in the 1910 T210 set and not LR. I also believe this is why Chattanooga is the toughest team to assemble in the 8 series. Late entry...

That would explain a great deal. I read...somewhere???...about the difficulty the Chattanooga subjects present...maybe from a frustrated collector. The southern baseball angle is something I am learning. It will be fun to collect along with the PCL. I never expected to be chasing prewar minor league issues, but it's where my interests have led me. Thanks for the info.

I would like to see those PCs, and maybe someday I can track down that RPPC of the LR team. That sounds like looking for a needle in a haystack, but sooner or later...

Baseball will always be my favorite, followed by college football. College basketball is probably my 3rd favorite, although it isn't what it was. But it counts in a big way for me as an Arkansan. Many of my best Razorback memories are basketball related thanks to Eddie and Nolan. Given that football will be a major dumpster fire for the next few years, Mike and his team will be all the more important.
