Abstract:

Morris recounts the baseball career of Artis Plummer, who played on teams that barnstormed across the South and south of the border fifty years ago. Barnstorming was a way for players to earn money during the off-season. After his baseball career, Plummer opened a sign painting business, Art Signs, a community institution in Durham for fifty years.
