Was curious why Bill See played only one year of minor league ball after posting that 25-6 record in 1948. He was the MVP of the Coastal Plains League. As spring training approached the following year, he requested his release from the Tarboro Tars. He was already having thoughts about retiring from baseball, and returning to his job at a mill in Kaiser, WV. Another team in the Coastal Plains League, the New Bern Bears, talked him into signing with them around March 12. He got into one game with New Bern and beat the Wilson team on April 24, 1949. In that game, he started a triple play when a ball was hit to him with the bases loaded. If he appeared in more than that one game with New Bern, I was unable to find such evidence using a couple of different services for newspaper searches.
