Abstract:
Young discusses the players he would include if he were to create a North Carolina all-star baseball team. Included on this imaginary team are Hall of Fame inductees Luke Appling of High Point and probable future inductee Gaylord Perry from Williamston. Young describes his player at every position and includes the lifetime statistics of each. A notable player included on the team is Rocky Mount's Buck Leonard, who played in the Negro leagues and was known as “the Black Lou Gehrig.â€
