Default 1954-55 Pine Bluff Judges

Pine Bluff, Arkansas hosted the Orioles Class C representative from the Cotton States League for several years. The Judges has been affiliated with the St Louis Browns previous to 1954.

The 1954 Pine Bluff Judges finished with a record of 47-71. Attendance for the whole season was 24,196 (an average of 410/game). I wish I had more items to share from that team, but it's amazing that anything survives from some of the obscure teams. I'm lucky to have a program.

Attendance in 1955 continued to be an issue and on June 16, the Judges moved from Pine Bluff to Meridian, Mississippi. The team was 25-31, while in Pine Bluff, but rebounded to finish with a winning record of 59-56, after moving to Meridian. Unfortunately, neither of the Judges teams produced any future major league Orioles.

I've never seen anything from Meridian, but here's the 1955 Judges program.
It's not mine, but I hope to have first chance at it, if it ever hits the market. Hint! Hint! Donny
