Synopsis
This book may be the most interesting and most painstakingly researched minor league history book ever published. Mr. Gaunt has captured the spirit of baseball in the towns of Eastern North Carolina and the important role the game played in the lives of fans there. This book covers the league history from it's inception in 1934 as a semi-pro league for college players, to its entry into true professional baseball in 1937. The league quickly became one of the most respected Class D leagues in the entire country for its high level of play. The Coastal Plain League shut down for the duration of World War II but returned in 1946 and achieved even greater glory over the following few seasons. The author covers all aspects of the league from the great players and teams, to the colorful stories and legendary characters, to the reasons for the eventual demise of the league following the 1952 season. A must-read for those interested in the history of the game or anyone who just wants a good read.
