{"product_id":"thomasville-tomcats-hoodie-vintage-defunct-baseball-teams-georgia","title":"Thomasville Tomcats Hoodie - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams - Georgia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Thomasville Tomcats, based in Thomasville, Georgia, played the 1952 season as an independent team with no major league affiliation, unusual for the GFL, where most clubs had working agreements with big-league organizations. The Tomcats were actually the Americus Rebels franchise relocated from Americus, operated under a group of New York investors led by general manager Gardner \"Joe\" Landon and drawing players from multiple organizations. They played in a brand-new 2,400-seat park described at the time as one of the finest facilities in Class D baseball, finishing seventh in the eight-team league in their return season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThomasville had hosted a separate GFL franchise since the league's founding in 1935, running as the Orioles, Tourists, Lookouts (who won the 1941 championship), and Tigers, until a fire destroyed that franchise's stadium and forced them out of the league after 1950. The Tomcats brought baseball back to the city a year later as a fresh, relocated operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe franchise signed on as a Brooklyn Dodgers affiliate in 1953 as the Thomasville Dodgers, reaching the championship series before losing to Brunswick in seven games, and continued through 1958. Thomasville returned for the 1962-63 revival as the Tigers once more under Detroit affiliation, winning the 1962 regular season pennant with a 76-41 record before the league folded for good. The Georgia-Florida League was a Class D circuit that ran, with a wartime interruption from 1943 through 1945, from 1935 through 1958, fielding teams primarily from south Georgia with occasional representation from Florida and Alabama.\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.
