A nice, old short story about a tree in the field of play. I believe it was Savannah or Augusta at a minors' park. Shoeless Joe or Cobb once played there as amateurs... Magnolias are so beautiful, they didn't want to chop it down? |

Ponce De Leon Park in Atlanta, Georgia, was famous for its huge magnolia tree in right center field. The park was torn down (I think in the 1960's), but the magnolia tree is still thriving. I am not sure that this is the magnolia tree referred to in the quotation, but it might be. What is the source of the quotation? |

His first name was Juan. Juan Ponce de Leon. And he's buried in San Juan, PR. Folks do name kids Juan. And magnolia trees live a long time in the south. I now live in a house my Grandfather built in 1930, there's a magnolia tree in it still. I used to climb in it as a kid, I called it a hand grenade tree. Tree was there long before me. And has a good chance of outliving me. |

The huge magnolia tree in Ponce de Leon Ball Park, home of the Atlanta Crackers stood just beyond the deepest part of the centerfield fence, (462 feet). The park, and the Crackers (I think) lasted till 1965. The original field was called Ponce dce Leon, then when it was rebuilt after the fire, it waqs changed to Spiller's, then back to Ponce de L3eon. |

I am the source of the quotation. If you read the story, you would string me up from one. No joke. |
