HistoryIn 1952, the team began play and folded following the 1955 season. The Georgia State League folded after the 1956 season.[1] The Pilots were 39-56 in 1952, 59-77 (1953), 57-73 (1954) and 25-40 in 1955 when the franchise folded.[2] The team drew 32,146 (1952), 38,431 (1953), 18,532 (1954) and 8,750 (1955).[2] The BallparkThe Pilots played home games at Pilots Field.[2] On July 19, 1952, at Pilots Field, Joe Louis Reliford of the visiting Fitzgerald Pioneers, age 12, became the youngest person to play in a professional baseball game. Relaford simultaneously broke the racial barrier for the segregated Georgia State League. A photo of Reliford in uniform is housed in the Baseball Hall of Fame Library in Cooperstown, N.Y.[3][4] During the game, Reliford, playing outfield for one inning, made a catch over the wall, robbing Pilot player Jim Shuster of a home run to end the game. He was congratulated by Pilot fans, who came on the field and cheered him. [4] Regarding Pilots Field today, according to the Statesboro Herald: "the field, which had wooden stands and wooden box seats, was on the road that runs by the old Georgia State Patrol headquarters, now the Department of Driver Services office, from U.S. Highway 301 North toward Brodie International. The location is still visible as the first clearing on the right past the Driver Services parking lot." [4] The address of the Driver Services facility is 19051 US Highway 301 South, Statesboro, Georgia 30461. Notable alumniThe Pilots had no alumni make the Major Leagues.
