HARRELL: Wedding at home plate only one element of 1950 Ga. State League

By Dr. Lanier Harrell | For the Jesup Bees professional Class D baseball team after World War II, attendance was never very good. (Other teams in the league were Douglas, Fitzgerald, Tifton, Baxley, Eastman, Dublin and Vidalia.) Many special nights were tried to boost attendance, Ladies’ Night, various giveaways and lucky drawings. The Bees’ most unusual attraction in 1950 was a real wedding at home plate, and it would be long remembered. It happened this way.
