| | Carolina League |
 | | Over its first 59 years, the Carolina League has established itself as one of baseball's premier minor leagues, a circuit renowned for hot prospects, intense rivalries, memorable pennant races, and excellent play. |
 | | But throughout the 40s and 50s it was known as a predominately North Carolina League. |
 | | Some of the league’s colorful greats from that era (many still hold league records) included Muscle Shoals, Willie Duke, Woody Fair, Harvey Haddix and Crash Davis, whose name was immortalized in the movie Bull Durham. |
