He was seventeen the first year, cut early in the season, and back the next. The Detroit Tigers bought his contract that August, and he went on to a .366 lifetime batting average, twelve batting titles, and a place in the first Hall of Fame class ever elected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tourists were competitive without ever quite closing. The 1906 club went 70-45 and finished second, three games behind Savannah. The 1907 team went 59-61. Augusta disbanded during the 1911 season, sat out two years, and rejoined in 1914, finishing last at 52-73. Home games were played at Warren Park.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAugusta had been in professional baseball well before the Tourists, fielding the Browns in 1885 and 1886 and the Electricians in 1893 in the old Southern League. After the Tourists came the Dollies in 1919 and the Tygers through the 1920s. In the 1800s and first half of the 1900s, teams existed in thousands of small towns across the United States, as Americans looked for recreational activities and entertainment in the era before TV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRetro Baseball Revival celebrates historic baseball teams with unique apparel, honoring their legacy and bringing history to one-of-a-kind clothing with our old school retro baseball tees from defunct Minor League Baseball teams.
