Help

[Thumper]

I need help finding info on a minor league team back in the 50s. It was the team my grandpa was on. I've asked him before but forgot. Not to mention he mumbles each time he says the name.

 

All I know is that it was in Mississippi (Possibly Natchez) and was either named or owned by a man named John (can't remember last name).

 

If anyone could help I'd appreciate it.

now that its narrowed down a bit, um, well, it isnt. What is your grandfather's name?

Sorry but it's the best info I could get. His name wouldn't help however since it's such a common name, a lot of people have it. I'll probably be better off just calling him again lol.

There was a minor league team in the 1950's called the Natchez Guardians (1948-1953). They played in the Cotton States League.

So far these are the only members of those teams I can find:

Joe Rullo

Jack Parks

Dick Adkins

Gil Torres

James Gilbert

Walter Wilson

Troy Mitchell

Don Allen

Wayne Tucker

William Specter

 

 

There was also a team called the Jackson Senators that only played one year (1953).

 

Good luck.

 

If you get me your grandpa's name I'll see what I can find stat-wise.
