Beginning in an era before traffic jams, air-conditioning, and
Atlanta's ascension to international fame, Tim Darnell chronicles
the emergence of amateur and minor-league baseball in various forms
in Atlanta from just after the Civil War through the rise of the
Crackers (1901-65).Through never-before-published player
interviews, rare illustrations, extensive charts and statistics,
and thorough research, Darnell examines the drama and politics that
affected the Crackers over the years. Also profiled is the Black
Crackers, Atlanta's Negro Southern League franchise whose success
and popularity paralleled those of their white counterparts.The
Crackers is a light-hearted, fun, and engrossing history of a time,
a people, and one very special centerfield magnolia tree whose
stories are legend to this day.Includes a Crackers Trivia Quiz, and
appendices with records and statistics.
