Over the past few days, we’ve reviewed the highest and the lowest of those. Click here, here, or here for more on that. Today, we’re checking out one of the teams in the middle, the high-A Jupiter Hammerheads in the Florida State League.
The Florida State League was originally founded in 1919, closed shop from 1929 through 1935, then opened up again in 1936, remaining open uninterrupted until the present day. They’ve been home to such disparate teams as the Bartow Polkers, the Leesburg Gondoliers, the Sanford Celeryfeds, the Ocala Yearlings, and from 1962-1970 and again from 1982-1988, even the first iteration of the Miami Marlins.
