Bob M......
Regarding your......
" Boss Schmidt was from Coal Hill, Arkansas. Ooops, sorry Ron, you already had him listed. There was a flood of talent from Arkansas in the major leagues but it didn't begin until the 30's and 40's with Hall of Famers Travis Jackson, Arky Vaughn, Dizzy Dean, Bill Dickey, etc. " Since, Arkansas was not considered the deep South back in the T206 era, I would of expected more BB players from Arkansas in the T206 set. All this changed after WWI, where the early predjudices by some of the ball club owners began to vanish. And, as you noted, this new "Southern wave" in BB began in the 1920's and 1930's. By the way, don't forget my favorite Arkansan (besides Bill Dickey)....Johnny Sain. TED Z Last edited by tedzan; 06-01-2010 at 06:23 AM.
