George Sisler- Gentleman George - Inducted MLB HOF - 1939

[Jerry G]

George Sisler Exhibits and greatest thrill letter.

I don't have a pic of my 1925 Turf Cigarettes Sisler, but that's the singular Sisler I own.

Born in New Franklin, OH, which is a town that now bleeds into the town where I'm from (I now live in a different neighboring town in relation to New Franklin). My grandpa knew him, as my grandpa played ball in the St. Louis Browns farm system and is from Akron, OH, which is just north of New Franklin. Underappreciated in my area.

I live in New Franklin. There is a ballpark named after him now. It's still amazing how many people around here have no idea who he was.

I seem to be having issues replying to private messages so I'll post info here. Sisler Park is basically just a couple of ballfields they decided to name Sisler Park. It's not the type of park where you can walk around or have a picnic. It is located directly next to Manchester Middle School on Nimisila Rd. I believe they use the fields for little league games. It was still nice to see somebody recognize Sisler for his accomplishments though.

Is this the same Bob T*th that went to Manchester HS in the late 80s?

Such a small world! I love Canal Fulton! I volunteer at the Veterans' Memorial Park there. I need to get over to Sisler Park.
