The threat of being blackballed by organized baseball notwithstanding, hundreds of players went to bat for the independent Carolina League, and their stories offer unique glimpses into the pastime?s?and America?s?most difficult years. This follow-up to the immensely popular and award-winning The Independent Carolina Baseball League, 1936?1938 (McFarland, 1999) takes the story of outlaw baseball into extra innings, offering a wealth of previously unpublished interviews with the key players and personnel associated with the league. With outstanding coverage of nearly 20 players, including the notorious Edwin Collins ?Alabama? Pitts and well-known Lawrence Columbus ?Crash? Davis, this book also offers the unique perspectives of umpires, journalists and players? wives. Appendices include a Pitts family history, the Kannapolis Towelers team record book, player records, and the history of the Carolina Victory League.
