The Great South League has announced that the Ty Cobb Reds have joined the league for the 2010 season.  They are the second team to join the Great South League this offseason.  Earlier this year, the league announced that they had added the Tennessee Styx.

The Ty Cobb Reds will call Emmanuel College’s baseball field in Franklin Springs, GA home.  The team will be led by GM Dr. Aaron Brister and Head Coach Jeff McCall. 

The team is named after the legendary Ty Cobb.  Cobb’s estate was consulted prior to naming the team and they gave their permission for the team to honor cobb by naming themselves after him.  Cobb played for the Reds of nearby Royston, GA before starting his professional career.
