Alan, could you please check one of those programs to see if they opened the season on the home or the road that year..
As an aside, Jimmie Schaffer was the manager of that club that season (who lives near me) and I saw him at the local diner last week having breakfast:

Bill,
Charlotte did indeed open the season at home against the Chattanooga Lookouts. It's interesting to note that 19 yr old Eddie Murray is listed as 1B-3B in the program. Was he supposed to be the heir to Brooks at 3B ??
