ballplayers from the deep South. This still just represents only 2.3 % of the 389 different subjects in the T206 set.

First and foremost Ted thank you for your service.
Here's the list I have for your deep south players:
Alabama - Street and Fritz
Georgia - Cobb, Rucker, Foster, Lavender, and McElveen.
Louisiana - Oaks
Mississippi - Criss and Stark
South Carolina - Coles and S. Smith
Of the players in the T206 set I have recorded the birth places of 341. Of those 341, 229 were born in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois or Massachusetts.
That leaves 112 for the rest of the country of which the 12 above deep south players make up 10%
