Palatka Redlegs

[1] The Redlegs enjoyed a fairly successful run during their affiliation with the Reds, finishing no worse than third place over four seasons, including making the league finals in 1957 and winning the championship in 1960.

[1] Palatka teams played at the Azalea Bowl in Forrester Field, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The park, with the original grandstand demolished, is still in use today as home to the Palatka High School Panthers.

"[2] The 1961 team was memorialized in Pat Jordan's award-winning book "A False Spring."

He wrote of his minor league experiences in Palatka, such as the time a player sprinted in, grabbed a bat, clubbed a snake and threw it over the outfield fence.
