The name ran through two circuits: the Class B Southeastern League from 1928 to 1950, and the Class D Alabama-Florida League from 1957 to 1962.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first title came quickly. Zinn Beck, a former major league infielder, managed the original Cloverleafs from 1928 through 1930 and took the Southeastern League pennant in his third season. Selma then went through the pattern common to small-city clubs of the era, folding and reforming repeatedly: out after 1930, back in 1932, out again, back from 1937 through 1941, then 1946 through 1950.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strongest stretch came at the very end. As a Cleveland Indians farm club, Selma won the Alabama-Florida League in 1959, then again in 1961 and 1962, taking three titles in four years before the franchise closed for good. Earlier affiliations had run through the Washington Senators, the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Chicago Cubs, and the Kansas City Athletics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelma baseball predates the Cloverleafs by decades. The city fielded the Christians in the Southern Association's inaugural 1901 season, the Centralites from 1911 to 1913, the River Rats in 1914, and the Selmians in 1927. Home games were played at Rowell Field and later at Bloch Park, which still stands.\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.
