Griffin Pimientos
The Griffin Pimientos were a minor league baseball team based in Griffin, Georgia.
From 1947 to 1951, Griffin played as members of the Class D level Georgia–Alabama League, playing the 1950 season as the Griffin "Tigers." Griffin did not advance to the playoffs in any of their five seasons. The "Pimientos" were preceded in Georgia–Alabama League play by the 1915 to 1917 Griffin Griffs.
In 1948, the "Pimientos" were a minor league affiliate of the St. Louis Browns.
Griffin hosted home minor league games at Pimiento Park. Located on Pimiento Avenue, the ballpark was within the Griffin City Park and is still in use today.
The Griffin Pimientos were preceded in league play by the Griffin Lightfoots, who played from 1915 to 1917 as members of the Class D level Georgia–Alabama League. The "Griffin" team proceeded to play the 1920 and 1921 seasons as members of the Class D level Georgia State League to immediately precede the Pimientos in minor league play.
In 1947, Griffin "Pimientos" began play as members of the eight–team Class D level Georgia–Alabama League, the Griffin franchise was added as the league expanded from six teams to eight, also adding Alexander City Millers franchise. The Alexander City Millers, Carrollton Hornets, LaGrange Troupers, Newnan Brownies, Opelika Owls, Tallassee Indians and Valley Rebels joined the Pimientos in beginning league play on April 23, 1947.
The team use of the "Pimientos" nickname corresponds to local agriculture. In the era, there were many pimiento farms in Griffin and the surrounding era. Their popularity grew because they were more resistant to the boll weevil than other crops.
In their first season of play, the Pimientos placed sixth in the 1947 Georgia–Alabama League and did not qualify for the playoffs. The team missed the playoffs in all five seasons of play. The Pimientos ended the regular season with a record of 53–66, as Abe White served as manager. Griffin finished 20.5 games behind the first place Carrollton Hornets in the final regular season standings. Griffin's Ken Guettler led the league with both 25 Home Runs and 103 RBI.
