History

The Palmetto League was formed for the 1931 season as a Class D minor league. The Palmetto League began play as a four–team league, hosting franchises from Anderson, South Carolina (Anderson Electrics), Augusta, Georgia (Augusta Wolves), Florence, South Carolina (Florence Pee Deans) and Greenville, South Carolina (Greenville Spinners). The Palmetto League played a split-season. After the first half of the season was completed, the Anderson Electrics moved to Spartanburg, South Carolina and played as the Spartanburg Spartans.[1][2][3]

The Palmetto League's first season of play began on Monday, April 27, 1931. Anderson (14–40) moved to Spartanburg on June 29, 1931, playing their first game in Spartanburg on July 2, 1931. The Augusta Wolves won the 1st half of the season. [4]

On July 23, 1931, the overall Palmetto League standings were: Augusta Wolves (53–23), Florence Pee Deans (44–32), Greenville Spinners (37–39) and Anderson Electrics/Spartanburg Spartans (28–58). Bill McGhee of Augusta hit .405. [5][4][1][6]

The Palmetto League permanently folded on July 23, 1931, citing "financial difficulties."[7][4]
