He began calling his hometown Atlanta Crackers in 1946, moved up to the big leagues in 1948 with the Brooklyn Dodgers, and was already an established veteran when he came to Detroit 43 years ago.

The Rochester Tigers were (presumably) the same team that had moved there from Brooklyn the previous season.
