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.

Baseball--Florida
Sanford (Fla.)
Description
Souvenir score card to the Florida State League all-star baseball game at Municipal Ball Park in Sanford, Florida on Friday, August 20, 1940 at 8 p.m. The cover page features a photograph of the Sanford Seminoles, who would be facing the all-star team. The second page lists each member of the all-star team along with their statistics and spaces to score the player, and the third page offers the same information for the Sanford Seminoles. Both pages contain advertisements, as does the last page. This score card contains handwriting in pencil, revealing which players played which innings, the game statistics and score, and the fact that the game went into extra innings.
