I collect the Atlanta Braves (hometown), players with ties to the Chattanooga Lookouts (adopted hometown) and players who grew up here. You all seem up for challenges, so here they are ... most of them were career minor leaguers who achieved a certain level that might have gotten them to the major league camp and in front of a Topps photographer.
Holy Grail:
***Bobby Gene Sanders (PHILLIES 1962-63) Broke color line in Chattanooga along with
Hank Allen (PHILLIES 1963) before dealt to WASH***
60s Chattanooga Lookouts players …
Angel Oliva (SENATORS/TWINS 56-61)
Mike Marshall (PHILLIES 1964-5) Played SS for Lookouts! Converted to P during season
Cal Emery (PHILLIES 1964)
Larry Daniels (PHILLIES 1963-64)
Bob Milo (PHILLIES 1962)
Don Erickson (PHILLIES 1962-63)
Norm Gigon
Gerald Reimer
