- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Pearl Sandow. Pearl Sandow, a native of Canton, was Georgia's most devoted baseball fan and one of the most dedicated fans in the history of the sport. Beginning in 1934, Sandow attended every professional baseball game played in Atlanta, except one, for the next fifty-five years. She first supported the Atlanta Crackers, who played at Ponce de Leon Ballpark. In 1966 Sandow transferred her loyalty to the Atlanta Braves. She saw more than 1,850 Crackers games, and she attended 1,889 Braves games--every Braves home contest from 1966 through 1989.
