Opening Day Batting Order: 1949
Joe Engel and the Senators spent lavishly at time to bring in minor league superstars of the era, usually a year or three too late. Here is the Chattanooga Opening Day batting order from 1949:
Junior Wooten, Wily Miranda, Charley Letchas, Tom McBride, Babe Ellis, Robert Reid, player-manager George Myatt, Andres Fleitas, Bill Toenes.
Lookouts finished 60-92 and Myatt was fired mid-season.
