Title
Sanford Baseball Collection
Description
Sanford entered the world of professional baseball in 1919 with the formation of the Class D Florida State League. In its inaugural season, the Celeryfeds won the first half pennant, finishing in a tie with Orlando for the best overall record. Although the league folded in 1928, it was revived in 1936, and once again included a team from Sanford called the Lookouts, which was part of the Senators family of clubs. This struggling team finally turned around when they acquired former Major League star, Dale Alexander, as manager and first baseman in 1939. In over 80 years of Florida State League history, no team has ever matched their .737 winning percentage that season. The next season, the Sanford Seminoles emerged as the city's baseball team.

Description
Brochure for the San Francisco Giants Camp for Boys in Sanford, Florida. The Giants Spring Training Facility offered a summer athletic experience for boys in order to gain extra revenue. The first page contains information on membership, rates, reservations, and visitors. Page two describes their policies on letter writing, insurance, miscellaneous, camp opening, and enrollment. Page three is an application, and page four contains a special message to the parents from Director Fred R. Ganas. In 1947, the City of Sanford collaborated with the New York Giants to layout and create a 10-diamond practice field. The Giants also owned the Mayfair Hotel and Mayfair Country Club and golf course until the early-1960s, and players would use these facilities when staying in town for training.
