Former Notable Players:

Notes: Located in picturesque Daffin Park, the brick and steel stadium was built after much of its predecessor, Municipal Stadium, had been leveled in a hurricane. However, World War II prevented the completion so several rows of temporary bleachers were used through the 1950s and still today an uncompleted portion of the grandstand is still visible. The remnants of Municipal Stadium are the grandstands down the first base line and left field. The left field grandstands brings the outfield wall in close at 290 feet, which has taunted hitters for years. The stadium is named for Savannah native, Spanish American War hero, William Grayson, who led the drive to replace the demolished stadium.
