Atlanta's ascension to international fame, Tim Darnell chronicles

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.
