Sam Smith, president of the South Atlantic League, was at the 1962 Old Timers banquet. Why, might you ask? Because the Southern Association had folded only five days before, and he was wooing Nashville to come to the SALLY League for 1962.

Birmingham decided to pull its club over the use of Negroes, and the Detroit Tigers, the Barons major league affiliate, had little choice but to associate with Nashville should the team and league stay in business in 1962.

That did not happen, but the Tigers had already assigned a manager for the Nashville ball club and he attended the Old Timers banquet, too. You may not know him, but if you are a baseball fan and have read stories about the old days, viewed photographs (especially black and white ones), or heard about crazy, legendary events over the years, then you have seen this new manager plenty of times.
In this episode, I tell you all about this mystery manager!
