- Encyclopedia article about the Atlanta Crackers. The Atlanta Crackers were one of professional baseball's most successful minor league franchises. From 1901 until 1965 they won seventeen league championships--more than any other team in organized baseball except the New York Yankees. National Baseball Hall of Fame inductees Luke Appling and Eddie Mathews started their careers with the Crackers, as did players Tommie Aaron, Tim McCarver, and Chuck Tanner, as well as announcers Skip Carey and Ernie Harwell.
