Knoxville, Tennessee was the home of the Orioles Class A affiliate in the South Atlantic League in 1957-58. Today, I'll focus on the 1957 team. They finished 81-73 and were managed by future O's coach George Staller.
The two program variations 1957 Knoxville Smokies #1.jpg 1957 Knoxville Smokies #2.jpg The Orioles farm system was becoming more productive, producing a bunch of players to play for the Orioles (some on the way up and some on the way down). The list includes Ray Barker, Fred Besana, Leo Burke, Angelo Dagres, Jack Fisher, Chuck Locke, Milt Pappas, Jim Pyburn and Willie Tasby. A few players I'll post photos of as the year progresses, but here's a few.
