Default Interesting Southern PC...

This PC was taken of the Chattanooga Lookouts in 1909 when this team was with the Class C South Atlantic League, just before they moved over to Class A Southern Association. The PC was actually sent to a Minor League player in Kansas, Elmer Brooks, explaining the Chatt. Ball Club would be sending Elmer his Bat Case and Sweaters... (I think he did not make the Lookout team after being invited to Spring Training... Sabr shows Brooks played Class D ball in Kansas that year and hit .198, then hit 202 in 1910 for another Central Kansas League team) Several Major Leaguer's on this PC, including Mgr Dobbs... Also, the Mascot is of interest on the PC. What I love about PC's is they can also tell a story !
