High Point-Thomasville Hi-Toms T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight) - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams - North CarolinaThomasville fielded its first professional team, the Chair Makers, in 1937, a direct nod to the city's furniture manufacturing economy. After stints as the Tommies and the Thomasville Dodgers, the franchise was renamed in 1948 at the suggestion of longtime player manager Jimmy Grudzis, who worked with High Point Enterprise sports editor Bill Curry to come up with a name that would represent both High Point and Thomasville. The result, Hi Toms, stuck.

Thomasville fielded its first professional team, the Chair Makers, in 1937, a direct nod to the city's furniture-manufacturing economy. After stints as the Tommies and the Thomasville Dodgers, the franchise was renamed in 1948 at the suggestion of longtime player-manager Jimmy Grudzis, who worked with High Point Enterprise sports editor Bill Curry to come up with a name that would represent both High Point and Thomasville. The result, Hi-Toms, stuck.

A year later, in 1949, a seventeen-year-old third baseman named Eddie Mathews arrived at Finch Field and hit .363 with 17 home runs in just 63 games, helping the Hi-Toms win the North Carolina State League championship. Mathews went on to hit 512 career home runs and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1978.

The Hi-Toms joined the Carolina League in 1954 as a Cincinnati Reds affiliate. In 1955 they posted the best regular-season record in franchise history, only to lose the league championship to the Danville Leafs in a six-game series, Danville's third Carolina League title. The Hi-Toms switched to a Philadelphia Phillies affiliation in 1957 and 1958 before the franchise folded after that season.

Finch Field itself was built in 1935 by Thomasville Furniture Industries as a recreation ground for its employees, and team scorecards from the Hi-Toms' mid-1950s heyday featured a sly, top-hatted cartoon tomcat swinging a bat over the ballpark, an image this design borrows directly from.

Great purchase! Highly recommend!
Color: Yellow Gold, Size: 1 cttw
Love these earrings! They have beautiful brilliance and sparkle AND I feel the setting is relatively substantial. They have a screw on back and the back is not small and flimsy like some earring backs I have seen. I purchased the 1 carat pair and love them. Highly recommend!

Beautiful and timeless!

The earrings are beautiful. I was hesitant to go with lab grown over natural but the quality of the earrings have genuinely changed my outlook on pab grown diamonds. These were made with 14kt screw on backs and have given me peace of mind. These were purchased to be worn in the 2nd ear piercings. They look stunning next to my natural halo diamond earrings.

Great quality
Color: Yellow Gold, Size: 0.5 cttw
Beautiful earrings, but I would definitely get the largest 1ct option if an adult plans to wear them. The smaller sizes would be perfect special gift for a child.
