Spent the day at the library going through the Atlanta Constitution newspaper archives and checked out the first month of the Southern Association... they gave good coverage to the hometown crackers, but often resorted to just line scores for the rest of the league, just occasionally showing the box scores... my rosters are pretty accurate, but I had to make some changes.

Minor League teams in the 40s and 50s were in great flux at the beginning of the season... they were waiting for their parent team to make their cuts, which would filter down to each level.

Consequently, you see a lot of transactions in April.

I think they will get settled down in May.
